In Dibakar Banerjee's short film that was part of the Ghost Stories anthology, Gulshan Devaiah plays a human-size ape. The one who will eat his own daughter. Although he is unrecognisable under the prosthetics, the brutal swag comes through convincingly. And suddenly, although you have seen him in Hunterr, you are left saying, "Hey, he was good! Why am I not seeing more of him?"

Well, there is more. Devaiah is now in Afsos, where he plays a man committed to committing suicide, and the chaos that ensues. The Amazon Original series has received favourable reviews, and we are not surprised. Whether in Shaitan, or Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota, Devaiah has managed to bring gravitas to his characters.
