He’s the man who paved the transitional golden path through global cinema and Bollywood. He’s worked in multiple films from different countries and of course in Bollywood, he’s made an indelible niche for himself. Yes, we are talking about the ‘bad man’ himself, actor par excellence Gulshan Grover... the man who never gives up. In a candid conversation, the amazing Gulshan Grover talks about his fab role in Sooryavanshi, his journey as an actor, his pride, his son Sanjay and more.

You’ve done some magical work in the Hindi film industry and abroad – in fact, you were the pioneer who paved the way to Global cinema for other actors who inspired by you also went international, how has the journey been?

I’m very happy that the mud pot that I created between Bollywood and Hollywood is being cemented and followed by some very wonderful super talented colleagues of mine whether it is Priyanka Chopra and many others. I’m not the first actor to act in Hollywood but I’m the first actor to start a transition from Hollywood to Bollywood – that you go there and come back. That wasn’t there earlier. I’m very happy to have created that transition. For me, it has been a fantastic journey and I have worked in multiple films in multiple countries in Hollywood to France, Germany, Malaysia to even Poland. I’m enjoying this. India is now my base and I’m enjoying the wonderful success here.

Tell us about Sooryavanshi, I believe you have a great role in it... how was it working with Rohit Shetty, Akshay, Ranveer, Katrina and all?
