Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan’s latest movie, Lucky Bhaskar, has become a Diwali hit, connecting well with middle-class families. Directed by Venky Atluri, the film explores intriguing elements within the banking sector.
Originally, Venky approached a few Telugu heroes, including Nani, for this story. Nani showed interest initially but declined, feeling that taking on another fatherly role might not offer much variety, especially after his performances in Jersey and Hi Nanna.
With Nani stepping back, Venky presented the story to Dulquer, who quickly embraced it, bringing Lucky Bhaskar to life. Dulquer’s role as a banker caught up in deception resonates with family audiences.
Venky, known for his successful film Sir with Dhanush, delivers another heartfelt drama. Following the success of Sita Ramam, Lucky Bhaskar marks another hit for Dulquer in Telugu cinema, securing both Venky and Dulquer solid recognition.
