Gulshan Devaiah Talks About Less Prep Time For Roles Due To Over Commitment: When I Did Ulajh...

Gulshan Devaiah Talks About Ulajh: The film features Gulshan Devaiah and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles for the first time together. Released alongside Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, Ulajh has failed to take off at the box office. A day after the film's disastrous day 1 business, the actor has shared his opinion on being overworked. The actor said that he was busy with other commitments while working on the political thriller and his body would give him clear indications to slow down. 

Ulajh actor Gulshan Devaiah talks about being overworked 

In a recent interview with PTI, after the release of his film, Gulshan Devaiah shared that as he firms his foot in the industry, he has to be more mindful of overcommitting. Devaiah, 46, said with more opportunities he has to be mindful of the potential drawbacks of overcommitting and the toll it may take on his health. He recalled. “When I was shooting for ‘Ulajh’ and I came back, I had less than a week to prepare for something else that I was doing and I kind of struggled in the first seven to eight days of shooting. I didn't have enough time to sort of prepare for that." 

However, the actor backed his claims by asserting that his experience has taught him to handle the juggle. He shared, "I'm an experienced actor, so the experience also pulls me through but sometimes it just drains you out a little bit… Sometimes your body would be like, ‘Hey bro, slow down’.” He said he boarded the patriotic thriller because he liked his role in it. The movie is headlined by Janhvi Kapoor and directed by Sudhanshu Saria of Loev fame.

“I’ve to find the part that's been offered to me interesting and that's paramount. Also, I’m at that stage where it has to make sense for my career because it should be a project that's good for my career,” he said.

In the same conversation, the actor, known for his work in Dahaad, said he does not try to calculate or control things like whether people are going to watch the projects he stars in or how they are going to respond to his characters, the scale of the release of a movie and its box office prospects. “We're all human, so sometimes you're not able to give your best but that's life. Everything else is incidental, the results will come, and they are always incidental. It's the process and how you approach it and what you do with your skill sets (that matters). This perspective is good for me and it keeps my ego in check. The moment I feel that I get result-oriented, I'm going to lose the plot,” he added.

Ulajh also starring Roshan Mathew, Adil Hussain, Rajesh Tailang, Meiyang Chang, Rajendra Gupta, and Jitendra Joshi, was released in theatres on August 2.
