Fresh off the success of Kantara Chapter 1, actor Gulshan Devaiah is stepping into Tamil entertainment with the crime-drama series Legacy, where he stars alongside R Madhavan. And if Gulshan is to be believed, shooting with Madhavan wasn’t just professionally rewarding — it was downright overwhelming.
“Everyone Was Gaga Over Him” — Gulshan on Madhavan’s Charm
Speaking to Mid-Day, Gulshan recalled how Madhavan’s presence on set created a quiet but undeniable frenzy. He joked that even he wasn’t immune to the actor’s charisma.
“I felt weak in the knees every time I saw him,” he said, adding that Madhavan plays his father-in-law in the series. “There was something magnetic about that look. All the girls on set were going gaga over him, and I said, ‘You have to go over my dead body. I’m getting to him first.’”
Gulshan’s playful confession quickly became a highlight from the interview, with fans loving the mix of admiration and humour.

Produced by Kalyan Shankar under Karthik Subbaraj’s Stone Bench banner, the show revolves around Periyavar, an ageing patriarch of a powerful crime family.

Beyond Legacy, Gulshan is also appearing in the comedy-drama series Perfect Family, produced by Pankaj Tripathi. The show stars Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Girija Oak and Seema Pahwa, and explores the stigma around therapy in Indian households — with humour at its core.
The series is streaming on the JAR Series YouTube channel, where the first two episodes are free, and the remaining episodes can be accessed via a small one-time payment.
