Gautam Gulati was half of well-liked tv exhibits like Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani and Diya Aur Baati Hum, earlier than profitable eighth season of the largest actuality present in India – Bigg Boss. Although the present introduced him immense reputation, it did not translate into larger and higher provides for him. Gautam starred in a number of actuality exhibits and movies after his Bigg Boss win, however large tasks eluded him till he landed a unfavorable position in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai.
Talking about the time after profitable Bigg Boss, Gautam says, “I wasn’t getting the kind of film offers I wanted. They were mostly from smaller producers, who probably didn’t even have the money to release their films. A lot of those projects were like that, but still I did sign a few films. I worked with Ekta Kapoor (2016 film Azhar), Tony D’Souza (Behen Hogi Teri), and Eros International. And then I worked with ZEE5, my last film (Virgin Bhanupriya) was released there. You have to make the best of the offers you get. At least the ones I chose were released.”
“I got a lot of television offers too, but I wanted to do films mostly. For example, I did a song with T-Series, and I got 10 similar offers. But those songs are not well-produced. With T-Series I knew that it would be made well and released properly. It matters who you work with and what platform you choose. Like my latest film, Radhe, is a huge project. Even if it did not release in theatres, it is a Salman Khan film. People are watching it, recognising me. My dream of working with Salman Khan has come true,” he provides.
The dream-come-true was the outcome of an opportunity encounter with the famous person, who supplied Gautam the position of Girgit on the spot. “I met Salman Khan in end of 2019 and he asked me what I was doing. I told him that a few films were stuck, and there were others I didn’t know when they were going to release. Then he looked at me and said, negative karega? He is such a big star, he was knows who might be able to pull off a particular role, so he was assessing that. I couldn’t believe it when he asked me if I would do a negative role. I asked him if he was serious. I told him I love negative characters, they leave an impact if you perform well. Straight away, believe me, the work started,” Gautam narrates.
Bigg Boss 8 resulted in January 2015. Quite a bit has modified in subsequent seasons, particularly the energy of social media in rising the reputation of a contestant. “Honestly, social media wasn’t so bang on at that time. These days the moment you enter Bigg Boss you gain 2 million followers on Instagram. But the good thing was, voting used to be genuine, so you became a household name. I got 86% voting from India. That felt amazing. These days contestants’ social media accounts are more active when they are inside the house. When I had entered, my account was idle because there was no one to handle it,” Gautam says.
