Dulquer Salmaan, affectionately called ‘Kunjikka’ by fans around the state, is the heartthrob of Malayalam film industry. Following his father, Mammootty’s footsteps, Dulquer has found success in the industry very fast.

Always taking an extra cautious step to be away from controversies, Dulquer was always tight-lipped about commenting on sensitive issues. Recently, when AMMA reinstated the membership of accused actor Dileep, many social activists questioned the reason behind the no comments stand of young actors like Dulquer and Fahad Fasil. Dulquer had chosen to be silent even on the actress abduction case as well. Actress Parvathy had made bold comments regarding certain sequences of the movie Kasaba which promotes misogynistic sentiments among the viewers. This issue had been fuelled further by the fans of Mammootty, who threatened Parvathy and her family through social media.

Following the limelight, Dulquer has finally broken the silence and made it clear that his movies have never and will never promote sexist sentiments among the viewers. “I have the utmost respect for women. What I can do as an artist is that I will always put them first. My movies haven’t ever or will never put women in a bad state,” said Dulquer.”I personally know my father very well. I know how he has raised me and my sister. It is not wise to evaluate him by watching his movies. I know the love and respect which women get in my family, and the respect we give to women outside the family. Everything that affects my father will obviously hurt me. I know, he can never hurt anyone deliberately,” said Dulquer about his father Mammootty.

Dulquer is all ready for his first debut in Bollywood through the movie Karwaan, co-starring Irfaan Khan and Mithila Palakar. This much-awaited movie is directed by Akarsh Khurana and is expected to hit theatres by August 3.

Mahanati moves you emotionally in many areas and the rise and downfall of Telugu cinema’s most famous actress have been shown in a very effective manner. As the film is of the biopic genre, there is a lot of drama and things get narrated in a slow pace and this might not go well with certain section of the audience who do not know much about Savitri. 

Mahanati is an odd mix of ambitious ideas and trite imagery. There is the love song that has Dulquer Salmaan and Keerthy Suresh floating to the moon, there is the clever subtle effect of 1980s film quality for the “modern day” sections, that is inventive and interesting.

Director Nag Ashwin has done an amazing job with the biopic. He stays true to the genre and does not add any unnecessary elements to the film. Nag Ashwin manages to showcase the dark side of Savitri without hesitating a bit. This is where the film clicks and the biopic becomes appealing. The young director scores heavily as he showcases every aspect of Savitri’s life in an interesting manner without making it look like an art film. Mickey J Meyer’s music is quite pleasing as the songs sit nicely in the narrative. But his background score is even better as it gives a lot of  depth to the film. Special credit should go to makeup department as they have done a stunning job in making Keerthy look exactly like Savitri. Samantha Akkineni and Vijay Devarkonda’s ’80s set up looks quite good as well.

Dulquer is an apt choice to play Gemini Ganesan. The star actor nicely gets into the film and the way he portrays his role with negative touch is quite good.

Samantha plays the role of a journalist and her scenes with Vijay Deverakonda have been executed quite well.
