On the occasion of actor Dulquer Salman's birthday on Tuesday, the makers of his last Telugu film Mahanati (2018), announced their next yet-unitled project with him.
It is yet unclear if the project, to be directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, will only be made in Telugu or in other languages from the South.
The makers unveiled a concept poster to mark the announcement of the project. Going by the poster, the film feels like a period romantic drama. The poster, which looks like a postcard, hints that the story unfolds in the year of 1964.
The postcard has a stamp which reveals that it is from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Could it be possible that the film features Dulquer in the role of an Indian soldier during the Indo-Pak war of 1964? According to the director, it's a love story from the pages of history.
Vishal Chandrasekhar has been roped in to compose the music. The rest of the cast and crew will be finalised soon. The film will be produced by sisters Swapna and Priyanka Dutt.
Dulquer’s last Telugu outing was Mahanati, in which he played veteran actor Gemini Ganesan. He received critical acclaim for his performance in the movie. The actor is awaiting the release of his upcoming Malayalam film Kurup (2020), directed by Srinath Rajendran.
