Balki’s last directorial project was the Akshay Kumar-starrer Pad Man (2018), which is based on the life of social activist Arunachalam Muruganantham.

Dulquer currently awaits the release of the Malayalam project Kurup. The film, which is being directed by Srinath, will be centred on Sukumara Kurup, a family man who commits a ghastly crime.

It’s been over three decades since the heinous incident and Sukumara is still at large. Dulquer and Srinath had previously worked together in Second Show (2012).

He also has the Malayalam cop thriller Salute in the pipeline. The film stars Dulquer as SI Aravind Karunakaran.

Dulquer also recently completed shooting for the upcoming Tamil romantic drama Hey Sinamika, which marks the directorial debut of choreographer Brinda. The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal and Aditi Rao Hydari. 

Hey Sinamika has been produced by Jio Studios in association with Global One Studios. It marks Jio Studios foray into Tamil cinema.
