In Kantara: Chapter 1, Gulshan Devaiah was seen playing the role of a royal prince named Kulsekhara in the film, for which he garnered a lot of praise. In our review for the film, we wrote of Gulshan’s performance, “Gulshan Devaiah embodies menace in Kulashekara, although the script gives him a typical antagonist role, much like characters such as Pramod Shetty and others.”
