Dulquar Salman’s Career Front
Dulquer made his debut in the Malayalam film industry in 2012 with the film Second Show, directed by Srinath Rajendran. Before stepping into acting, he worked at an IT firm in Dubai but left the job due to its monotony. His debut was unconventional, featuring in an action crime film alongside a cast of newcomers. His breakthrough came with Ustad Hotel, directed by Anwar Rasheed and written by Anjali Menon, which became one of his most memorable performances.
Despite some setbacks, like the film Theevram not doing well at the box office, Dulquer’s career picked up momentum. He collaborated with director Martin Prakkat in ABCD: American-Born Confused Desi, where he also debuted as a playback singer. His versatility was evident in 2013 when he starred in Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi, a road film, and Pattam Pole, his first full-fledged romantic movie.
Dulquer expanded his horizons by making his Tamil cinema debut in 2014 with Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (titled Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in Malayalam). While the Tamil version was well-received, the Malayalam version didn’t fare as well. He then starred in Bangalore Days, directed by Anjali Menon, which became one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films.
In 2015, Dulquer’s performances in 100 Days of Love and Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani solidified his reputation as a romantic hero. His role in Charlie earned him his first Kerala State Award for Best Actor. The film was later remade in Marathi and Tamil.
Between 2016 and 2017, Dulquer continued to impress with roles in Kali, Kammatipaadam, Jomonte Suvisheshangal, Comrade in America (CIA), and the anthology Solo, directed by Bejoy Nambiar. His 2018 entry into Telugu cinema with Mahanati, where he portrayed the iconic actor Gemini Ganesan, brought him widespread acclaim. The same year, he made his Bollywood debut with Karwaan, starring alongside Irrfan Khan.
Dulquer’s filmography has since become even more diverse, featuring in films like Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal, Varane Avashyamund, and Sita Ramam. His recent Bollywood ventures include Chup: Revenge of the Artist and the Netflix series Guns & Gulaabs. He was last seen in Malayalam cinema with King of Kotha and made a cameo in Kalki 2898 AD. His upcoming project includes the lead role in Lucky Baskhar.
