He’s entering with a project backed by none other than Samantha Ruth Prabhu, directed by the heartwarming storyteller herself, Nandini Reddy, and shaping up to be one of the most anticipated family entertainers of 2026.
This isn’t just another casting announcement — it’s a career shift, an industry crossover, and a statement of intent from Gulshan, who has made a name for choosing characters that cut deeper than the script.
Maa Inti Bangaram is already buzzing — and Gulshan’s arrival just set the volume to maximum.
Here’s why this project is turning into a tollywood talking point.
🔥 1. A kannada Breakout, Now a telugu Breakthrough
gulshan devaiah has been one of indian cinema’s most underrated shape-shifters.
Kantara: A legend Chapter 1 gave him a roaring kannada debut — intense, layered, impactful.
Now, tollywood is calling, and Gulshan is answering with a role he describes as a “challenging turn” in his career.
This is not just a debut.
It’s an evolution.
🔥 2. samantha Ruth Prabhu Steps Up as producer — Again, With Purpose

Expect laughter.
Expect heart.
Expect characters you’ll root for instantly.
🔥 4. Gulshan’s Role: Mysterious, Risky, and Unlike Anything He’s Done Before
While he’s kept the character details locked away, Gulshan has teased just enough to spike curiosity:
“challenging turn”
“unexplored territory”
“excited to embrace.”
This hints at something emotionally heavy or dramatically complex — a role far removed from his comfort zone, and exactly the kind of part tollywood actors get remembered for.
🔥 5. samantha + Nandini + Gulshan = A Triple Combo tollywood Didn’t See Coming
Samantha’s production instincts.
Nandini’s craft.
Gulshan’s unpredictability.
It’s an unusual triangle — but unusual is often where the magic lives.
The film isn’t aiming for noise; it’s aiming for impact.
🔥 6. A 2026 tollywood Line-Up Highlight
With big-budget spectacles dominating the headlines, Maa Inti Bangaram stands out by promising heart over hype.
That alone makes it a rarity.
And tollywood loves a good rarity that delivers.
🔥 7. gulshan devaiah Isn’t Just Entering tollywood — He’s Entering It With Authority
Some actors debut quietly.
Some debut loudly.
But Gulshan is debuting strategically — with a director who knows emotion, a producer who knows storytelling, and a role that pushes him into unknown waters.
This is how careers pivot.
This is how industries take notice.
2026 is already stacked with mega releases — but Maa Inti Bangaram is shaping up to be that one gentle film with a giant emotional punch.
And Gulshan Devaiah?
He isn’t just making a telugu debut.
