Actor Gulshan Devaiah is mostly remembered for his performances in Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram Leela and Hunterrr. The actor will soon play a major role in Abhimanyu Dasani and Radhika Madan’s Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. He will be seen as a karate expert on screen for the first time.

This film was offered to him at a time when he was recovering from knee reconstructive surgery. The doctors adviced him to take rest at least for a year, but the offer was so lucrative for him as an actor that he couldn't say no to his director Vasan Bala. The role required him to push the envelope at a stage where he was supposed to rest for his physical well being. The immense faith and trust from the team of MKDNH led him to sign the film.

After he signed that film, Gulshan was also approached for Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika. The actor however had to decline the project for various reasons – one being rigorous training and the other being time constraint.

Revealing the same, Gulshan said, “Manikarnika was offered to me and the filmmakers really wanted me to do the role. It seemed physically demanding role as well because there was horse riding and sword fighting lessons I had to take. The real reason why I turned down Manikarnika is more than one reasons, reason number 1 is I really prefer doing one project at a time, regardless how big or small it is and I feel that I am able to give my 100% of all my time to that project be it a short film or a big budget commercial enterprise it doesn't matter, this is my preferred method I am not able to do it all the time, and but that's what I prefer because I already agreed to be part of Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota. And secondly it would have been extremely physically difficult for me to cope up with two roles which needed me to do variety of physical training and execution on screen.”

Apart from the above mentioned movies, Gulshan was also part of Hate Story, Shaitan, Cabaret, The Girl In Yellow Boots and A Death In The Gunj.
