Mid-Day

Gulshan Deviah has had a rather out of the box-casting in the first few films of his career.

He started off by playing an eccentric guy in Shaitan, then became a Kannada-speaking gangster in That Girl In Yellow Boots and a villainous industrialist in Hate Story. Buzz is that Gulshan is all set to play a Raavan-esque character in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming romantic saga.

A source says, “Gulshan will be essaying the negative lead role in the film and will be something on the lines of Count Paris who wishes to marry Juliet in Shakespeare’s romance drama.” The film that is a Gujarati take on Romeo and Juliet stars Ranveer Singh as Romeo and Deepika Padukone as his Juliet.
