Dulquer Salmaan’s work front
Dulquer Salmaan was last seen in the film Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. The story follows superstar TK Mahadevan, who is caught in a long-standing, ego-driven feud with his former mentor, filmmaker Ayya.
When Ayya attempts to revive his shelved film Saantha, Mahadevan uses his influence to take over the project and reshape it into Kaantha to suit his own image. As tensions escalate, a mysterious death on the film set turns the narrative into a thriller, with Inspector Devaraj investigating the case while the rivalry between Mahadevan and Ayya intensifies.
Looking ahead, DQ is also filming for the movie titled Aakasam Lo Oka Tara. The upcoming adventure drama stars Shruti Haasan and debutant Satvika Veeravalli as the female leads and is set to release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi.
