Dulquer Salmaan and R Balki team up for a thriller film?

South actor Dulquer Salmaan won millions of heart in the mainstream Bollywood business when he made his debut in the Hindi film industry with the 2018 film Karwaan, also starring Irrfan Khan. He then also starred in the film The Zoya Factor co starring Sonam Kapoor. 

Next we hear that Dulquer has bagged an edge of the seat thriller film by R Balki. The director, known for slice of life films like Cheeni Kum, Paa, Shamitabh, Ki & Ka and Pad Man will be exploring the thriller genre for the first time and has reportedly locked in the actor for the lead role.

If the reports are to be believed, this project will mark the first collaboration of Balki with Dulquer. “He had been toying with the idea of making a thriller for a while now and the lockdown gave him the time to explore that space on paper. He worked on the idea and developed it into a full-fledged screenplay. Given the way his script shaped up, Balki and his team felt that Dulquer Salmaan would fit the bill and be apt for the protagonist’s part in the film,” Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.

Reportedly, R Balki has begun work on the pre production and while he will be one of the key producers, a studio is also expected to come on board. 

Besides Dulquer, the leading lady and other cast are yet to be locked in and a formal announcement is yet to be made.
