Mumbai :

Gulshan Devaiah, who is known for his grey roles in Shaitan, That Girl In Yellow Boots and Hate Story will now be seen in a comic avatar.

The actor has just wrapped shooting for debutant director Harshvardhan Kulkarni’s Vasu where he plays a Konkani character. Devaiah informs, “I play Mandar Ponkshe, who is a very ordinary man but who has special ways with women. It is a full-blown commercial comedy where I am paired opposite Radhika Apte.”

Interestingly, his character ages from 19 years to 36 years through the course of the film. “It was difficult to pull off the parts where I had to play a 19- year-old teenager because that is much younger than my age. I have played older characters before, so playing someone in his 30s was not very difficult,” he says. Shot entirely in Pune, the film will release sometime this year.

Meanwhile, Devaiah is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Ram Leela where he plays a character with grey shades, and is also awaiting the release of Vasan Bala’s Peddlers.
