\"DidActor Gulshan Devaiah revealed he was approached for a role in Alia Bhatt’s recent film Jigra. He was unavailable for the project. Devaiah also shared past instances where he missed opportunities with filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap. He believes in keeping friendships and work separate. Devaiah has previously worked with Jigra director Vasan Bala on other films. Alia Bhatt<\/a> collaborated with director Vasan Bala<\/a> for the first time in Jigra with Vedang Raina<\/a>. While the movie received mixed reviews, the actress received rave reviews for her performance. However, did you know that even Gulshan Devaiah was approahced for a role in the movie?<\/p>\n

Gulshan reveals he was offered a small role in Jigra<\/p>\n

In a conversation with News18, Gulshan revealed, “Vasan did his first film Peddlers with me and then we did Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. My voice is in Monica O My Darling. He wanted me to do something in Jigra too but I wasn\u2019t available. It was either a voice role or a character that passes in the background.”<\/p>\n

Vedang Raina Spotted At Airport<\/p>\n

The actor further shared that even if he hadn\u2019t been approached for a cameo in Jigra, he wouldn\u2019t have minded. He explained that he doesn\u2019t believe in expecting his friends to offer him roles in their projects, adding that friendship and work should remain independent of each other.<\/p>\n

On his friendship with Vasan Bala<\/p>\n

He continued, “Vasan is a very good friend of mine. I can call him if I know that he\u2019s working on a script and tell him that I want to be a part of it but I don\u2019t. I choose not to do such a thing. Sometimes, they offer you a part voluntarily and sometimes, they don\u2019t.”He went on to recall a similar experience with Anurag Kashyap, the filmmaker who launched him. Gulshan revealed that Anurag had offered him two major projects in the past, but unfortunately, he couldn\u2019t be a part of them due to other commitments.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was supposed to do a part in Sacred Games\u2019<\/p>\n

Elaborating further, Devaiah added, “After That Girl In Yellow Boots, Anurag called me to work with him a couple of times. I was supposed to do a part in Sacred Games but in the episodes that Vikram (Vikramaditya Motwane) was directing. I was also offered a part in Yudh but I didn\u2019t like it.”\u201cHarshvardhan Kulkarni made Hunterrr where I was his leading man. In Badhaai Do, I was romancing his leading man. But I\u2019ve never asked these filmmakers for a role. If a role comes to me, it does. I guess it\u2019s alright. Sometimes, it\u2019s important to work with new people because they push you into a different direction. It could be the same for them also. They should be able to get the actors they want for a part. And sometimes, maybe I\u2019m not the right person for it,” Gulshan concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Gulshan Devaiah revealed he was approached for a role in Alia Bhatt’s recent film Jigra.
