Gulshan Devaiah Birthday: Did You Know The Actor Worked In Fashion Industry?
Happy Birthday Gulshan Devaiah: Bollywood actor Gulshan Devaiah will be celebrating his 47th birthday on May 28. Known for his unwavering dedication, willingness to experiment, and ability to breathe life into diverse characters, the actor has carved a niche for himself by continuously pushing the bar with his film choices. From his roles ranging from a four-cut Atmaram in Guns and Gulaabs to a serious cop in Dahaad, he has always kept the audience hooked with his impeccable acting skills across different genres.
The actor graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) and worked for ten years in the fashion industry. His passion for acting began with minor roles at an English theatre in Bengaluru. He honed his skills by performing in various dramas before taking the plunge into the vast world of Bollywood. With dreams in his eyes, Devaiah came to Mumbai in 2008 and marked his Bollywood debut with Anurag Kashyap's neo-noir thriller named That Girl in Yellow Boots in 2010.
Now, as he turns a year older, let's go down memory lane and check some of his top web series that prove his versatility and learn more about his upcoming projects:
Gulshan Devaiah Birthday: Top Web Series
Guns and Gulaabs (2023): This has to be in Gulshan Devaiah's top web series repertoire. The comedy crime thriller was one of the biggest hits of the actor's career, and we can't agree more. Created and directed by Raj and DK, the series is based on the 90s world of crime and violence. The show follows three characters — an honest police officer, a reluctant kingpin and a lovelorn mechanic — who get tangled up in a major drug racket. Guns & Gulaabs also stars talented actors like Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, Satish Kaushik, Rajkummar Rao, Goutam Sharma, TJ Bhanu, Gourav Sharma and Sanchay Goswami in lead roles.
Duranga (2022): The series is an official adaptation of the South Korean suspense melodrama TV show, Flower of Evil. Co-starring Drashti Dhami, the 9-part series is a suspense thriller with many twists and turns. The ZEE5 Original Series, directed by Pradeep Sarkar and Aijaz Khan and produced by Goldie Behl, also stars Abhijit Khandkekar, Barkha Sengupta, Rajesh Khattar, Divya Seth and Zakir Hussain.
Dahaad (2023): While this gritty web series was billed as a Sonakshi Sinha show, Gulshan Devaiah was the uncrowned king in Dahaad. The film, directed by Ruchika Oberoi and Reema Kagti, is inspired by serial killer Mohan Kumar, also known as Cyanide Mohan, who preyed on women in the hopes of marrying them. In the gripping crime thriller, he aced his role as Inspector Devilal Singh, a cop who is chasing a serial killer. Dahaad also featured Vijay Varma and Sohum Shah in key roles.
Bad Cop (2024): Anurag Kashyap and Gulshan Devaiah teamed up for Disney+ Hotstar's series Bad Cop. This web series is an adaptation of RTL's 2017 German show Bad Cop: Kriminell Gut. Penned by Rensil D'Silva and directed by Aditya Datt, the Indian version shows Anurag portray the role of a villain, Kazbe, while Gulshan Devaiah takes on the challenging role of Karan, an intense cop determined to arrest Kazbe. The cast also features Saurabh Sachdeva, Harleen Sethi, and Aishwarya Sushmita in pivotal roles.
Afsos (2020): Another must-watch web series of the actor is Afsos. This dark comedy, written by Anirban Dasgupta, Dibya Chatterjee and Sourav Ghosh, chronicles the journey of Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), a struggling writer. After all his attempts to die by suicide are somehow thwarted, he decides to hire an assassin to end his life. But when he realises he is nearing his death, he has a change of mind. However, the assassin has a rule: he never leaves his job undone.
Gulshan Devaiah Birthday: Upcoming Projects
Guns & Gulaabs Season 2: Buckle up, as the Netflix series Guns and Gulaabs is going to make a much-anticipated return soon. The makers have earlier announced the exciting news of the upcoming second season through social media platforms. Netflix shared a distinctive teaser in the platform's signature style. The clip introduced the actors reprising their roles – Rajkummar Rao as Paana Tipu, Dulquer Salmaan as Arjun Varma, Adarsh Gourav as Jugnu and Gulshan Devaiah as Cut Atmaram, along with other actors from Season 1.
The Nexus: Shadows of Destiny: Next, the actor has this thriller drama in his pipeline.

It leads to unexpected revelations and narrative twists that reshape their destinies in surprising ways. The film also features Sharad Kelkar and Vijay Raaz in significant roles.
Golmaal Gharana: Helmed by Amardeep Gulati, this quirky and hilarious film is about an eccentric joint family living in an ancestral haveli in Lucknow. The story, featuring Nana Patekar, Vijay Raaz and Barkha Bisht in lead roles, revolves around their madcap schemes to save their home from being taken over by a greedy builder while dealing with their hilarious misunderstandings and personal quirks.

Weapons dominates box office but theaters gearing up for slow months. Here's why
Zack Cregger's Weapons has become one of the year's breakout hits. Despite business declining by 43 per cent domestically and 33 per cent internationally, the film starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin has raked in $148.8 million globally. This is yet another win for Warner Bros, which paid $38 million for rights to the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter. However, the weeks ahead look lighter with no major releases coming up. Theater chains in the US, too, are betting on smaller, riskier releases and hoping audiences keep showing up. Weapons shines at the box office.(X/@newlinecinema) The hit films no one saw coming The 2025 Box Office has been full of surprises. Few expected DC's Superman to outpace Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps or for Jurassic World Rebirth to eclipse them both with an $828 million haul. Original horror titles like Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Weapons proved that audiences are still willing to gamble on bold new ideas. Alamo Drafthouse's chief revenue officer, Mike Sherrill, told Variety that the success of the films shows that people will show up when they are given 'something fresh and exciting'. Also read: Weapons ending explained: What happened to the kids who vanished in Josh Brolin's film? The bleak weeks ahead The Variety report added that despite the momentum, the upcoming calendar looks barren. August will be closing with Ethan Coen's Honey Don't! and Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, and the satire The Rose starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. However, none are expected to generate blockbuster numbers. The first week of September will likely see a spark from the fifth instalment of the supernatural franchise The Conjuring: Last Rites and the filmed version of Broadway's Hamilton. According to Movie Insider, nine new titles will be debuting later in the month, which include: Lionsgate's The Long Walk, Sony's Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, and Paul Thomas Anderson's costly epic One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Chris Randleman, chief revenue officer at Flix Brewhouse, told Variety that none of the September releases look like they will make it big, but the volume will counteract it. A glimpse of hope in October and beyond The industry's next major bet is Disney's Tron: Ares, which is set to release on October 10. However, the real uptick in business is expected in late October and November when the following titles arrive: Mortal Kombat II, Predator: Badlands, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Wicked: For Good, and Disney's Zootopia 2. Texas Capital Securities analyst Eric Wold told Variety that theaters will be able to endure the lull since they have recovered enough financially after the pandemic to sustain through a short-term slowdown. FAQs Q1: Why is the fall box office expected to be weak? The release calendar has fewer big-budget films, with most major titles delayed until October and November. Q2: Which films could help sustain theaters before October? The Conjuring: Last Rites, Hamilton, and smaller titles like Honey Don't! and The Roses may provide moderate boosts. Q3: What are the big upcoming blockbusters? Disney's Tron: Ares, Mortal Kombat II, Predator: Badlands, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Wicked: For Good, and Zootopia 2. Q4: How are theaters adapting to slow months? Chains like AMC and Alamo are using discounts, premium screenings, and special events to attract audiences.
