Malayalam actor Dulquer Salmaan’s Telugu film Lucky Baskar is gearing up for Deepavali release on 31 October. The actor will be back on screen after more than a year.
While it is common for others, Dulquer had releases back-to-back in multiple languages. His last film was King of Kotha (Malayalam), which was released in August 2023.
Initially set for 27 September and then moved to 7 September, Lucky Baskhar is finally releasing in a week.
Directed by Venky Atluri and starring Dulquer Salmaan, the movie created considerable excitement with its engaging storyline and impressive cast. Meenakshi Chaudhary stars alongside Dulquer Salmaan, with music by GV Prakash Kumar.
Terming the year-long break as a hiatus, Dulquer, during the promotions of Lucky Baskhar in an interview with TV9 said, “Last year, I was able to work on only one film. Perhaps that’s my fault; some films didn’t work out and my health wasn’t that great.”
“We had delays in shooting also due to my health. My director, producer, cast and crew were very supportive. There were days when the team only suggested stopping the shooting and seeing me in pain,” Dulqer said, without divulging details.
The makers recently released the film’s trailer on Monday, 21 October. The 2:30-minute trailer shows the rise of Dulquer Salmaan from the lower middle class, ridden with debts, to richness, albeit with the wrong means. The film is set in 1980s Mumbai.
The trailer also intrigues the audiences, as to how the lead actor earns huge amounts of money in such a short time. It also shows Dulqer’s character changing from “humble to arrogant.”
Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya of Sitara Entertainment and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film also benefits from Banglan’s authentic set designs and Nimish Ravi’s cinematography.
It marks Dulquer Salmaan’s third Telugu venture following Mahanati (2018) and Sita Ramam (2022). However, he did a cameo in Kalki 2989 AD (2024).
The film got a U/A certificate and has a runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes.
