In the talk with RJ Siddharth Kannan, Gulshan said “One day I will play a Bond villain, I’m sure,”.This is not the first time Gulshan opened up about this incident, earlier he stated that because of his inability to keep a lid on his casting, and because of a gossipy friend, the news leaked in the British press, which really upset the Bond producers. After asking about this incidence if it is true he replied “I had signed the agreement. Casino Royale was the film. I shared the news with one of my closest friends in London. The biggest newspaper, the Daily Mirror, ran a story with the headline ‘Bollywood’s Bond villain’. Everything that I had said the previous night had been printed. That upset everybody. They said I hadn’t respected the contract, and various other things happened, and I had to leave.” On the work front, Gulshan was the supervillain of the Bollywood era he gave many hits to the industry along with other actors.
