Gulshan Devaiah’s Little Thomas releases on Oct 23 as he debunks false debut claim

Gulshan Devaiah’s upcoming film Little Thomas hits theatres on Friday, October 23, and the actor used the occasion to refute a long‑standing Wikipedia claim about his debut. He says he does not watch social‑media reactions on release day; he feels his work is finished and lets the audience decide, noting that one negative comment can outweigh many praises. He adds that mood sometimes leads him to check box‑office numbers and other business details. Wikipedia lists him as a DJ in the 2004 Salman Khan‑starrer Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa, but Devaiah says that is incorrect. He confirms his true debut came in 2011, after the festival screening of That Girl In Yellow Boots in 2010, and mentions an unreleased 2002 English film called Brides Wanted that he shot in Bengaluru. He laughs at the erroneous Wikipedia entry and jokes that Amitabh Bachchan might later ask about his debut on Kaun Banega Crorepati, with both That Girl In Yellow Boots and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa as possible options.
