After a bit of hiatus, popular pan-Indian actor Dulquer Salmaan is back in the Mollywood film industry with a much-anticipated venture ‘King of Kotha’. Talking to the media recently, the versatile actor said that he is both “excited and nervous” about the project, which will hit the big screens on August 24.
Dulquer Salmaan said that ‘King of Kotha’ is a new space for him as he has not previously explored an out and out commercial genre of films. He also said that he is completely confident in the content of the movie, which will give the audience a different kind of theatrical experience.
According to Salmaan, the film comes backed with a profound storyline that has the potential to reach a wide audience. The action entertainer also stars Aishqariya Lekshmi, Shammi Thilakan, Gokul Suresh, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, Nyla Usha and many others in pivotal roles.
‘King of Kotha’ is a collaboration between Zee Studios and Wayfarer Films, two powerhouses known for their entertaining content. Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, the film brings to life a world brimming with larger-than-life battles, personal struggles and the unwavering pursuit of power.
