I was conceit about troubling my family during my college days, so worked in a food court : Dulquer Salmaan

Star kids are always born with the silver spoon. Atleast, that is the general conception. They can easily afford a swanky lifestyle thanks to their celebrity family. But here is an exception to all that. Mollywood’s young star Dulquer Salmaan probably had the biggest address among his peers, Megastar Mammootty’s son. But the humble and down to earth Dulquer never had any starry airs and went the hard way to find the road to success.

The actor recently shared some of his experiences during his college life in an exclusive chat with Club FM UAE. He was part of the show as for the promotions of his latest release, Jomonte Suvisheshangal.

Dulquer said, “When I was in college, a dollar’s value was around 46-47 rupees. I was very apprehensive about troubling my family for my college expenses. So I worked in a food court to meet my expenses. During those days, I lived with a minimum budget and had many memorable experiences. But today, I can sustain with any budget and change myself according to the situation.

He continued, “I always had a passion for acting. I had a doubtful phase when I was not sure what to do in my career. I wanted to select a career where I should enjoy doing my work and not consider it as a mechanical job. I share a buddy- buddy relationship with my father. Everyone in my home is very affectionate.

In the work front, his latest release Jomonte Suvisheshangal directed by veteran filmmaker Sathyan Anthikad, is running successfully in theatres.

End of the historic theatrical run for Pulimurugan in Kochi multiplexes

Mohananlal’s historic hit, Pulimurugan has finally ended it’s theatrical run in Kochi multiplexes. The movie was released on October 7, last year during the Pooja holidays. Released amid high expectations, the movie opened to tremendous opening and went on to rewrite several pre existing box office records in Mollywood.

Pulimurugan had a successful run for 119 continuous days in the Kochi multiplexes. The movie registered record collections of over 4 crores in the centres. Hollywood blockbuster Jungle Book is the distant second in the list with collections of around 2. 5 crores.

Pulimurugan stood unshaken even amidst the release of many biggies. It is also the fastest movie to reach the 1 crore, 2 crore and 3 crore marks at the Kochi multiplexes. The movie also had a record number of shows for any movie in the Kochi multiplexes.

The Vysakh directorial was largely benefitted by the cinema strike that blocked the release of many highly anticipated Malayalam movies. In the course of it’s successful run, Pulimurugan scripted history by becoming the first ever Malayalam movie to enter the 100 crore club. Overall business of the movie has crossed the 150 crore mark.

Pulimurugan is written by Udhayakrishna and produced by Tomichan Mulakupadam under his banner Mulakupadam Films. The movie had Mohanlal in the title role of a wild hunter known in the locality for hunting down man eating tigers. The superstar’s terrific performance, Peter Hein’s action choreography and the technical brilliance of the movie was highly appreciated by the audience. Pulimurugan’s dubbed Telugu version, Manyam Puli was also a commercial success.

Telugu version of Oppam titled as Kanupapa was released today. The movie has opened to great response from critics and the Telugu audience. Social media is flooded with positive reviews for the movie. Mohanlal’s performance is getting rave reviews from all the corners.

Critics have stated that Kanupapa’s clever screenplay and technical brilliance is something that is only rarely seen in Telugu cinema. Mohanlal’s performance as the blind man Jayaraman and Priyadarshan’s skilled direction are the major highlights of the movie.

This is Mohanlal’s fourth release in less than twelve months in Telugu.
His first release was Vismayam directed by Chandra Shekhar Yeleti. Though the movie was critically acclaimed, it could not reap big commercial success. Next he teamed up with Telugu superstar Jr NTR in Kortala Siva’s Janatha Garage. His restrained and subtle performance as Sathyam made him popular among the Telugu masses.

Riding on the success of Janatha Garage, the Telugu version of Pulimurugan titled as Manyam Puli was released on December 2. The movie got a massive opening and enjoyed a theatrical run of over 50 days. According to trade sources, Manyam Puli grossed around 13 crores from it’s theatrical run.

Oppam was a blockbuster success in Malayalam. It is currently the second highest grossing Malayalam movie only after Pulimurugan. Tamil version of Oppam will be released soon.
