Gulshan Devaiah on playing a negative role

In an interview with Moneycontrol, Gulshan Devaiah revealed why he said yes to negative role in the film. He said, "Never say never. I want to do things where I can really have a genuine conviction... From the first film. Because I'm a fan. I saw the first film. It blew me away... it's almost like you are getting possessed."Elaborating further, he added, "So never say never to negative parts unless that's a part that compels me to say that no, you have to do this. But I want to have a genuine point of interest also in exploring that part and being a part of that story. It's usually the character. First, it's the character and then how that character is in the story. And it has to be genuine from me. Because I'm a fan. I saw the first film. It blew me away.

And it's one of the best climaxes I might have ever experienced. Not seen. Experienced. Because when that... When his framing and Rishabh's performance and Ajinish's music kicks in, it's almost like you are getting possessed."DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
