During our chat with Gulshan Devaiah, we are seated in front of a large poster of Ulajh. Looking at that, the first thing he tells us is, “It’s Janhvi’s [Kapoor] film. Her face is front and centre. She is the whole orchestra.” What then drove Devaiah to star in Sudhanshu Saria’s directorial venture? “It’s a great story and an interesting character. Ulajh [is the film equivalent of] going to your favourite restaurant and ordering the same dish. But within that same parameter, this film offers something new. I had so many moments where I went, ‘Oh, I did not see that coming.’ Also, I don’t think I have looked this nice ever. It was Sudhanshu’s idea to get me a beard.”
