Salim Ahamed-Dulquer Salmaan movie And The Oscar Goes To will start rolling this year
Renowned filmmaker Salim Ahamed recently announced his next movie’s title as And The Oscar Goes To. The director took everyone by surprise by announcing the title on the very day the 89th Academy Awards were given away.
Eventhough the director has not yet revealed the lead actor or other details regarding his next movie, our sources close to the director inform us that Dulquer Salmaan will be playing the lead in this movie.
Salim Ahamed had earlier informed that his next movie will be about cinema. And with the title, we presume that it’s the story of someone trying hard to make it to the world of cinema. The movie will go on floors by the end of this year after Dulquer finishes his prior commitments.
Salim Ahmed is known for extracting the best out of his actors. His debut movie, Adaminte Makan Abu had Salim Kumar in the lead role and he went on to win the National Award that year. It was also chosen as India’s official entry for the best foreign film category in the 84th Academy Awards.
Salim Ahamed’s other two movies had Mammootty in the lead. Both Kunjananthante Kada and Pathemari, found appreciation from the critics. Pathemari won the national award for best feature film in Malayalam in the year 2015.
It will be interesting to see how Dulquer adapts himself to a Salim Ahamed movie. The actor currently has a number of projects waiting in the pipeline. He was last seen shooting for Bejoy Nambiar’s bilingual Solo. Lal Jose- Unni R team’s Oru Bhayankara Kamukan, debutant Salam Bukhari’s commercial entertainer and Pulimurugan director Vysakh’s mass entertainer are some of the other movies in his kitty.
