Dulquer Salmaan: Blending Stardom With Smart Business Moves

Malayalam cinema’s suave hero, Dulquer Salmaan is truly a Lucky Baskhar. You might think so what? He is a nepo hero from the house of a film legend, Mammootty. Bloodlines can exalt a star only for a limited time, eventually they have to prove their mettle. Dulquer has leaped further than his father.  His company, Wayfarer Films just released Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra is setting new records at the box office. In just 13 days of showing, it has collected Rs 200 crore and much critical acclaim for its producer Dulquer who plays a cameo in the film. Dulquer is shrewdly strategizing his status not just as a star but a producer of quality stuff. Dulquer’s upcoming film, Kaantha was all set for release on September 12 but he suddenly decided to postpone its release to get the best of Lokah’s ROI. Its cost of production was Rs 32 crore and Dulquer is confident it will bring in Rs 300 crore. He has already announced that he will share the overflow with the crew of Lokah. Dulquer wants Kaantha too, to be an unforgettable film. Success needs well thought out master plans. Luck is the magic component.
