Dulquer Salmaan was last seen in a Malayalam film in 2023, playing the lead role in King of Kotha. Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, the gangster action film had an underwhelming performance at the box office and received negative reviews from critics upon its release.
Regarding his recent projects, Dulquer was last seen in the Telugu crime drama Lucky Baskhar, directed by Venky Atluri. The film featured him as a bank manager struggling to sustain a middle-class life. Facing humiliation at work and grappling with hardships, his character eventually becomes entangled in financial scams. The movie also starred Meenakshi Chaudhary, Tinnu Anand, P. Sai Kumar, Ramki, Raghu Babu, Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, and several others in key roles.
With Kaantha currently in production and I’m Game officially announced, Dulquer also has a Telugu romantic film titled Aakasam Lo Oka Tara in the pipeline. Additionally, he is expected to take on the lead role in an upcoming Malayalam film directed by actor-filmmaker Soubin Shahir.
