Gulshan Devaiah on Kantara 2, Profit-Sharing Fight & Working With Rishab Shetty

Asianet News English

This episode is CHAOS. Beautiful, unfiltered, Gulshan Devaiah-style chaos. From calling himself a “winding mountain road” during rapid fire, to casually dropping truth bombs about Anurag Kashyap, critics, co-stars, and the Tamannaah–Vijay breakup — this conversation is a full roller coaster.

00:00Talking about Kantara, it was close to 900 crore's business, I didn't get anything in it.

00:06What do you think about it in 900 crore?

00:09I said I didn't want anything to do with profit sharing.

00:13I told them to do it.

00:15I was like, I'll take zero fees, I'll do profit sharing.

00:18So did you do the film for free?

00:19No, no, no. They refused.

00:21They said like, no, we're not giving you a card of profits.

00:24Okay, fine, you pay me this much.

00:26They said okay.

00:26That's very sad, yeah?

00:28No, it's fine.

00:29I'm just making a face, I'm just kidding.

00:31No, but I did really try to get a profit sharing deal.

00:34I said I'll do it for zero fees.

00:36Yeah.

00:37Well, in the sense that, see the first one was really, it was very anticipated film.

00:41People really, people really across like India, they really loved the first film.

00:46It really connected with them, right?

00:48So I knew that, I don't know how much it's going to do, but then like business wise, career wise,

00:53it's a great move.

00:54Yeah.

00:55Also.

00:55Yeah.

00:56So it's a great part and I like Rishabh, but it's also a great move career wise.

01:01So I thought, well, I'll take a chance and see whether this will work.

01:04But how did it come to you?

01:05Obviously, they saw me telegraphing the move.

01:10They said, no, no, no.

01:11No, but how did it come to be?

01:14Like, how did it come to you?

01:15Rishabh offered, he called me and he offered it.

01:18I heard that you all maybe signed the deal over dosa or something.

01:22No, no, no, no.

01:24That was, I met him first over dosa in 2019, but we had discussed many other projects before

01:31that.

01:32He had a couple of other scripts and then we eventually even wanted to make one called

01:37Rudra Prayag.

01:38It didn't happen there.

01:39Lockdown hit in and lots of other things, variables.

01:42But Kanthara was never part of all the, any discussions that we had had because he himself

01:48was not making, it hadn't come to occur to him.

01:52All of these things happened during the lockdown and the film came out in 2022.

01:55So Kanthara, the first one is a lockdown baby.

01:58Yes.

01:59So, but I saw the first one.

02:02I really loved it.

02:03And I kind of had an instinct that he'll call me.

02:05Why?

02:06And he, sorry, just sometimes you have this instinct because he's tried to work with me.

02:11And then we have this, like, he seemed like the right guy to do something with.

02:16He is passionate and there's something about him.

02:19Like, you know, he was like, you know, we kind of, I was like, you know, this guy's good.

02:24Like he's, there's something about him.

02:26Like it'll be, it'll be fun to work with him.

02:28You know, it's like that.

02:29And he wrote that part, keeping me in mind.

02:32So it was almost like they were writing, like Gulu's going to do it.

02:36Now it's only a matter of Gulu, Gulu Maharaj, he calls me.

02:39It's only a matter of Gulu Maharaj likes it.

02:41So fortunately for everybody, including myself, I liked it.

02:46Okay.

02:46And you did a great job.

02:49So congratulations on that.

02:50Have I ever not done a great job?

02:52Come on.

02:53I mean, yeah.

02:55Look at me drink this coffee.

02:56Can anybody drink this better?

02:57You are very funny.

03:00Ah, yes.

03:02If you have any doubt about my sense of humor, go and read my social media bio.

03:07Okay.

03:08I say it myself that my sense of humor is very good.

03:11Oh.

03:12And slowly you will get to know.

03:14Okay.

03:14You took your own one.

03:15Yeah, I stole this light, but I am a thief like that.

03:18Okay.

03:19No one is.

03:20I will tear my heart too.

03:23Okay.

03:24Tell me one thing, Gulchan.

03:25Okay.

03:26Okay.

03:27Okay.

03:28Okay.

03:28You have done so much so much of work before this also.

03:35I have a specific question for you.

03:38I have seen a film at the cost of sounding dumb, Foot Ferry.

03:42Foot Ferry.

03:42Yeah.

03:43I don't understand the ending of that.

03:45Yeah.

03:45I don't understand.

03:47I don't understand.

03:48I don't understand.

03:50So then who is the thief?

03:52See, let me tell you like the way I understood the film, right?

03:58When I read the manuscript, I understood the film as sometimes in life, you are never going

04:06to get what you really want.

04:08Okay.

04:09You have to accept that and move on.

04:11If you see in that film, except for Vivant Deshmukhu I play, everybody else has moved on.

04:16They have accepted that we have failed at catching the criminal and the crime stopped.

04:20Yeah.

04:21So that's it.

04:22They have moved on, but he has not moved on from being a very bright and hon-haar CBI

04:27officer up and coming CBI officer who could have gone on to be done great things.

04:34He quits the CBI and you know, he's living in with that.

04:39He's not able to accept it.

04:40Like he's still in that that particular case really affects him.

04:45Yeah.

04:46I saw.

04:46Even after years.

04:47For me, it's a it's that's what the film is about.

04:50That you know, you have to learn how to accept sometimes that you will never get closure.

04:54Okay.

04:55Sometimes you'll never get closure.

04:57So you should just let it be.

04:58You should give it up and you should go on.

05:00There's another thing that was interesting in that particular character.

05:03Usually the protagonists or the leading man is always right about stuff.

05:08This I found it interesting because Vivant Deshmukh is wrong about everything.

05:13You introduce him as the protagonist, as a leading man, as a really big shot CBI guy, very smart,

05:20intelligent, up and coming officer.

05:22He has the chops to solve this case.

05:25But every instinct, everything that he has for this case is wrong.

05:29Yeah.

05:30Yeah.

05:30I saw.

05:30Because he doesn't, but you don't know that until the end.

05:36You don't know that until the end.

05:37So if you backtrack and see everything, every instinct or every idea he had were all wrong.

05:42In fact, his subordinates were probably having a more conservative approach to the case.

05:46They were, they were probably a bit more right than he did or they didn't know.

05:49But he was so sure of himself and he's wrong about everything.

05:53And I thought that it's a wonderful opportunity for me to play a tashing leading man who's wrong,

05:58who's actually wrong about everything.
