Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjay Dutt inspired Gulshan Devaiah's 'Guns & Gulaabs' character
Mumbai, Aug 16 (PTI) For his role of menacing assassin 4-cut Atmaram in the upcoming Netflix series "Guns & Gulaabs", Gulshan Devaiah says he derived inspiration from Mithun Chakraborty and Sanjay Dutt's movies which he watched as a teenager in the 1990s.
Inspired by the misfits of the world, the '90s set comedy crime thriller series is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. It follows the story of a lovestruck mechanic Paana Tipu (Rajkummar Rao), a reluctant heir to a ruling gang (Adarsh Gourav), an honest officer-turned-agent-of-chaos (Dulquer Salmaan), and a menacing killer 4-cut Atmaram.
From Dutt's iconic mullet hair he sported in "Saajan" and "Khal Nayak" to Chakraborty's retro dressing style, Devaiah said audiences will be able to see many references from the 1980s and 1990s in the show.
