Gulshan Devaiah says 'Hierarchy' in Bollywood should disappear

Gulshan Devaiah is known to speak his mind and recently the actor opened up about how the film industry worked. Gulshan is seen in action drama series Bad Cop, co-starring Harleen Sethi and Anurag Kashyap in key roles and while speaking about it he touched upon the eccentric casting in it. The actor told The Free Press Journal that unconventional choices will contribute to the entertainment value of the show.
With an experience of over a decade, Devaiah expressed his desire for social changes in the industry, particularly the elimination of the "hierarchy system" that places certain job profiles above others. He emphasized that this imaginary hierarchy should disappear. Devaiah also discussed the pressures and challenges that come with being in the public eye. He shared that he has trained himself not to suffer unnecessarily in his imagination and to take responsibility for his words and actions while not letting the pressure affect his enjoyment of the profession.

Devaiah also revealed that his portrayal of the police officer in Bad Cop is a "filmy, masala interpretation" of the character, acknowledging that it deviates from realistic depictions. "This world has a certain screen logic. It's not a realistic portrayal of a cop. It's a very filmy, masala interpretation of what a cop is," he said. The actor shared that he had enough time to mentally prepare for his dual roles, Karan and Arjun, and collaborate with director Aditya Datt to bring a unique interpretation to the characters. "When you have enough time to prepare, then, on the sets, I'm not confused about what I'm doing," Devaiah explained.
One of the highlights of Devaiah's performance in Bad Cop is his portrayal of twin brothers, which he found to be a "different kind of a double role with different sensibility." He praised director Aditya Datt's approach to the story and characters, stating, "There are more than one way of interpreting a certain character. Here, I got an opportunity to have a different approach to the twins and also play a different sort of a cop."
