He may not have delivered a hit in Bollywood as yet, but his name is quite familiar to Hindi film enthusiasts.
Dulquer Salmaan, who has been riding the success wave with his new release Sita Ramam, gets ready for his third Hindi film Chup: Revenge of the Artist, which follows a serial killer killing film critics.
Dulquer says “We don’t truly understand the power of great cinema. You don’t believe the reach and the travel of great cinema and I have seen it every time I had a great film.”
Your latest film Sita Ramam has been garnering praise from critics and audiences. What kind of compliments have you been receiving for your performance?
I have been receiving a lot of love for the character. So many people called me by the character’s name.
Some are even saying that Ram should become my middle name.
I think a very emotional connection has happened.
I saw a message from a girl who married an army officer at a young age, and she was deserted. She never really believed he would do that because he is very patriotic and has worked very hard. She is still waiting for him.
These random parallels you never imagine.
People from Poland and other countries have been watching the film and praising it on social media. Do you think Sita Ramam has expanded your fan base?
Yeah, I believe that we don’t truly understand the power of great cinema.
You don’t believe the reach and the travel of great cinema and I have seen it every time I had a great film.
