Dulquer Salmaan replaced Abhishek Bachchan to bag a dream Bollywood debut

Earlier in the day we had reported about Dulquer Salmaan’s much awaited Bollywood debut. The young sensation is making his entry to B Town with a light hearted entertainer to be directed by debutant Akarsh Khurana. Ace actor Irfan Khan and Mithila Palkar are also part of the cast.

Reportedly, Dulquer is playing a Bangalore based youngster in this movie. The movie is tipped to be a light-hearted comedy entertainer in which Dulquer and Irrfan Khan will be seen as friends who are on a road trip. However, not many know that Dulquer was’nt the first choice for this movie.

The makers had initially approached Abhishek Bachchan to play this role but he had to opt out as his dates clashed with JP Dutta’s Paltan. Abhishek has previously worked with the veteran director in films like Refugee, LOC Kargil and Umrao Jaan. He pulled out of Akarsh Khurana’s film due to his successful rapport with JP Dutta, who launched him in Refugee. Abhishek’s role eventually landed in Dulquer Salmaan’s hands which also paved way for his Bollywood launch.

Ronnie Screwvala is producing this yet-to-be-titled movie under his banner. Akarsh Khurana has also co-written the movie along with Hussain Dalal, the dialogue writer for successful films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and 2 States. According to trustworthy reports, the movie will be shot majorly in Kerala. The crew members have been camping in Kochi for over two weeks now for the pre-production works.

Dulquer, meanwhile is awaiting the release of two of his movies. Bejoy Nambiar’s Tamil-Malayalam bilingual Solo and Soubin Shahir’s Parava are scheduled to release in September during the Onam season.

Me and Nivin Pauly often discuss about Motorcycle Diaries: Kunchacko Boban on Rajesh Pillai’s dream project

Kunchako Boban is currently in a phase where he is gradually shedding the chocolate boy image that has been associated with him ever since his Aniyathipravu days. Of late, the actor has been doing a variety of roles that one would not normally expect him to play; the latest being Kavtta Sivan in Sidharth Bharathan’s Varnaythil Aashanka.

Kunchacko Boban has been getting a lot of appreciation for his performance as Kavtta Sivan, a local rogue, in the movie. The actor himself has admitted that he strived hard to shed the romantic hero image. The first person he would thank for helping him get over that image will be the late director Rajesh Pillai.

Kunchacko Boban and Rajesh Pillai had a very close relationship, personally as well as professionally. He was the lead actor in Rajesh Pillai’s debut movie Hridayathil Sookshikkan, but the movie tanked at the box office. In the director’s path breaking movie Traffic, Kunchacko Boban played the role of Dr Abel Thariyan.

That was actually his first real attempt in playing a grey-shaded character. In 2016, he teamed up with Rajesh Pillai once again for Vettah, a psychological thriller, which unfortunately was his last directorial.

Prior to Vettah, the duo were supposed to team up for a big budget movie titled as Motorcycle Diaries. Nivin Pauly and Kunchacko were supposed to play the lead roles in the movie. However, the project never really took off due to budget constraints and later due to Rajesh’s untimely demise.

In a recent interview, Kunchacko Boban was quizzed about the furture of Motorcycle Diaries. He said, “Motorcycle Diaries was Rajesh Pillai’s dream project. It’s a very tough task to make the project exactly like how Rajesh has conceived it. It involves massive efforts and a huge budget.

The script demands several artists, technicians and locations. Everyone who associates with this project would have to invest a lot of their time and efforts. So it requires a lot of time to visualise and successfully complete this ambitious project.

Whenever Nivin and myself meet, our first topic of discussion will be about Motorcycle Diaries. Works are still on and by God’s grace we hope to turn this dream into a reality someday.”

Motorcycle Diaries is reportedly a travel movie which deals with the mental relationship between a motorcycle and its previous owner. The oneliner itself sounds very interesting. Let’s hope this project materializes very soon.
