After proving his mettle in Malayalam movies, talented actor Dulquer Salmaan is taking up special roles in other language films. He has been roped in to play a key role in ‘Thug Life’ starring Kamal Haasan and directed by Mani Ratnam. “He has already worked with Mani Ratnam in ‘O Kadhal Kanmani’ and played a flamboyant lover boy and rocked the box office," says a source, who claims that Dulquer is on a mission to take up special roles to expand his fan base. “Instead of waiting for elusive hero-centric roles in Tamil and Telugu film industry, he is taking up special roles to showcase his talent. As he will be playing a key role in ‘Project K’ and bound to create ripples,’ he adds.
He also agreed to play a key role in Suriya – Sudha Kongara’s upcoming film. In all these three films, Dulquer will be playing important roles. “Dulquer who has attained superstardom in Mollywood has a different game plan for other language movies and going about with ease,” he points out.
Meanwhile, he is also doing a straight Telugu film ‘Lucky Bhaskar’ with director Venky Atluri who is known for hits like ‘Sir’. Of course, Dulquer gained a fan following among Telugu viewers with his scintillating performances in films like ‘Mahanati’ and ‘Sita Ramam’ to carve a niche for himself in Tollywood.
No doubt, the handsome actor is making waves across India, although his pan-India film 'King of Kotha' tanked at the box office recently.
