Actor Gulshan Devaiah has voiced his fatigue with Bollywood's trend of ultra-macho, bearded leading men, likening the current wave to the character popularized by 'Pushpa'. He criticizes the lack of originality and the prevalence of morally grey, hyper-masculine roles, citing films like 'Animal' and 'Dhurandhar'. Devaiah advocates for more diverse portrayals, suggesting clean-shaven looks and nuanced characters over a singular, intense persona. He also noted the importance of distinguishing between entertaining flawed characters and endorsing their actions.
