In a new interview with Instant Bollywood, Anurag Kashyap reminisced about meeting his Bad Cop co-star Gulshan Devaiah for the first time. Kashyap said that he decided to cast him in a film when the filmmaker witnessed him dancing with actress Kalki Koechlin at his house.

"I saw him dancing to (Amitabh) Bachchan songs with Kalki. He is Kalki's friend and they were dancing to Bachchan songs on my terrace. That's how I remember," the Bad Cop actor said.

Talking about him further, the filmmaker said, "I see a lot of personality because he has also done fashion, he's always disapproving of my fashion."

For the uninitiated, Gulshan Devaiah is a graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Technology.

Anurag Kashyap also spoke about Vasan Bala's 2018 film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota in which Gulshan Devaiah played a dual role. Kashyap said that it was his "most incredible performance" as he didn't expect the actor to be transformed like he did in the movie.
