Bigg Boss Ghilli Hogs Limelight In Darshan's The Devil Trailer

Ghilli, who is considered to be the favourite to win the Bigg Boss Kannada 12 trophy, has played a role in Darshan's upcoming movie The Devil.

The official trailer for The Devil, released to fervent fanfare this Friday, offered a glimpse into this thrilling mass entertainer. While the film is undeniably a Darshan-centric powerhouse, packed with high-voltage action sequences and punchy dialogues across its 2-minute-16-second runtime, keen-eyed viewers were quick to spot Gilli. His appearance, though brief, is impactful, cutting through the trailer's intense narrative with what appears to be a comedic role.

This unexpected cameo has successfully drawn significant attention, proving Gilli's ability to captivate an audience beyond the confines of the reality TV house. The trailer itself has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews from Darshan's loyal fanbase, who have praised its tight editing and promise of a pure, unadulterated mass film experience.

The background score by Ajaneesh Loknath provides a robust auditory foundation.

After commencing production in early 2024, the project faced a major hurdle when Darshan was arrested in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case in June, bringing filming to an abrupt halt. Following his bail in November, Darshan returned to sets in March this year with relentless dedication, working at a breakneck pace to complete the film. In a testament to his commitment, he managed to finalise all his work just days before the Supreme Court cancelled his bail, ensuring the project could proceed.

With Darshan in jail, the movie will hit the screens on December 11. However, his ardent fans are mobilising to transform the film's release into a monumental celebration, viewing it as a show of support for their star.

The advance booking of tickets for The Devil will begin tomorrow. With unprecedented craze around the flick, it is expected to register a solid opening next Friday.

Coming to the cast, the Kannada movie also has Rachana Rai, Sharmiela Mandre, Huli Karthik, Chandu B Gowda, Mahesh Manjrekar, Achyuth Kumar, and Vinay Gowda, among others in the cast.

Meanwhile, back in the Bigg Boss house, Gilli continues to solidify his position as a top contender. His trademark quick wit, humorous antics, and engaging personality have made him a consistent favourite, winning the hearts of viewers week after week. His cameo in The Devil has now introduced a fascinating new dimension to his public persona, showcasing his versatility and broadening his appeal.

This strategic crossover not only benefits the film by tapping into the massive Bigg Boss viewership but also elevates Gilli's profile, positioning him as a multifaceted entertainer poised for success both on television and the big screen. As the countdown to both the Bigg Boss finale and the release of The Devil begins, all eyes are on Gilli, whose star is shining brighter than ever.
