Dulquer Salmaan was last seen in a leading role in a Malayalam movie in 2023 with the film King of Kotha. The gangster action flick directed by Abhilash Joshiy had performed underwhelmingly at the box office and received negative reviews from critics upon release in 2023.

Coming to the actor’s work front, Dulquer Salmaan was last seen in the lead role for the Telugu crime drama, Lucky Baskhar. The film directed by Venky Atluri featured the actor as a bank manager who strives to make a living as a middle-class man.

Suffering from the consequences and being ridiculed at the workplace, the man gets involved in the world of financial scams. Aside from Dulquer, the film also had actors like Meenakshi Chaudhary, Tinnu Anand, P. Sai Kumar, Ramki, Raghu Babu, Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, and many more in key roles.

With Kaantha in the making and I’m Game being announced, the actor also has a romantic venture in Telugu titled Aakasam Lo Oka Tara. Furthermore, the actor is also expected to play a lead role in actor-director Soubin Shahir’s next in Malayalam.
