Hate Story is a lot more beyond sexuality: Gulshan Devaiah

New Delhi: Hate Story has already created much curiosity ahead of its release as the first erotic thriller in Bollywood, but actor Gulshan Devaiah, who plays the antagonist opposite Paoli Dam, says the film mainly deals with various complexities in a relationship. Gulshan said the revenge drama, produced by Vikram Bhatt, should not be mistaken as erotica because sexuality is just used as a tool in the film. Hate story is lot more than just sexuality. It is merely a tool that the female lead (played by Paoli) uses. Sexuality is the spark that ignites the fire. There are three different characters in the film and it revolves around their complex relationships," Gulshan told PTI.

I play a grey character Siddharth Dhanrajgir, who is extremely ambitious. The problem is that he is an egoist and has the attitude that he will not lose at any cost. He’s so aggressive that he can go to any extent to achieve what he wants,” he added. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri and also starring Nikhil Dwivedi in a prominent role, the film releases this Friday. The 33-year-old actor, who has acted in three films after starting his career with Rohan Sippy’s “Dum Maaro Dum”, admitted he has no problem with Paoli hogging the limelight because he knew that the film is a woman-centric one. “I figured out what exactly my part in the film is. I knew from the beginning that it’s a woman centric film. I am not insecure about the fact that it is Paoli’s film because she is an extremely talented actress. I was confident that I have a pretty good role,” he added. PTI
