Gulshan

Devaiah appealed to people to stop pulling off ‘cheap gimmicks’ to go viral on social media. In an exclusive interview with Zoom, the actor reacted to the video of a man impersonating Guliga Daiva during the screening of Kantara Chapter 1 in Tamil Nadu. Dressed in a traditional Bhoota Kola outfit and dancing to Varaha Roopam’s instrumental music, the person enamoured the audience but enraged the makers of the folklore film.

Gulshan Devaiah reacts to viral video

In strong words, Gulshan called the video a ‘cheap gimmick’ to get ‘15 seconds of fame’ on social media. The actor told Zoom, “It was a cheap gimmick. People these days will do anything to get 15 seconds of fame. Videos are going viral, and that’s precious to them. They should really stop doing that. I am nobody to tell people what to do, but this is very cheap. It lacks sincerity. If you do it with sincerity, I understand, and people will sense it and not misunderstand. Like the film.”ALSO READ: Kantara Chapter 1: Rishab Shetty's Film Earns Rs 509 Crores At The Box Office, Makers Call It 'Divine Cinematic Storm'

'Rishab Shetty's sincerity towards Kantara Chapter 1'

He added, “Rishab (Shetty) has so much sincerity for this story that he has approached it with sincerity. He will never be misunderstood. He himself is a devout, religious person. I have seen it, and people can sense it also. When people do it devoid of any sincerity, it is a cheap gimmick of going viral. I request that people stop doing it.”
