Mumbai, April 10 Actor Gulshan Devaiah shared a behind-the-scenes moment from the blockbuster “Kantara: Chapter 1” with his co-stars, hilariously tagging them as “useless guys”.
Gulshan posted a picture on Instagram, showing himself and his friends taking a dip in the water while dressed as their characters. The group is seen posing for the camera while standing in the water.
In the caption, he simply wrote: “Useless guys #BTS from a cut scene #kantarachapter1.”
“Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1” is an epic mythological action drama film directed by Rishab Shetty, who also stars in four key roles as Berme, Mayakara, Annappa, and Kaadubettu Shiva.
The film also stars Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah. As a prequel to the 2022 film “Kantara”, the story delves deeper into the origins of the tradition and ancestral conflict introduced in the first film.
Set in pre-colonial coastal Karnataka, the prequel blends regional folklore and divinity into a narrative that explores man's relationship with nature. It became a huge commercial success and is currently the second-highest-grossing Kannada film of all time, the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025, and also ranks among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
Gulshan is known for his roles in films like “Shaitan,” “Hate Story,” and “Hunterrr.”
He has also starred in web series such as “Afsos,” “Duranga,” “Dahaad,” “Guns & Gulaabs,” and “Bad Cops.”
He made his debut in 2010 with Anurag Kashyap's film “That Girl in Yellow Boots,” starring Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah. He was next seen in “Dum Maaro Dum,” starring Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, and Prateik Babbar. However, it was his performance in “Shaitan” that brought him recognition.
The actor was recently seen in the OTT show “Perfect Family,” produced by actor Pankaj Tripathi. The show also stars Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Seema Pahwa, and Girija Oak.
The eight-episode show blends humor and drama while exploring family dynamics, emotional well-being, and the use of therapy to navigate conflicts.
