Gulshan Devaiah Says Bollywood Violence Focus Is an Illusion, Highlights Genre Diversity
Actor Gulshan Devaiah, known for villainous roles, is shifting towards family-oriented films like his upcoming Little Thomas. He argues that Bollywood's focus on violent, action-packed movies is an illusion, noting that diverse genres have coexisted historically. Drawing parallels to the 1970s and 1980s, he cites Amitabh Bachchan's and Amol Palekar's contrasting but simultaneous successes as evidence that different film styles appeal to varied audiences without one overshadowing the other.
