Dulquer Salmaan, Amal Neerad And Comrade In America!

While perusing Dulquer Salmaan’s Wikipedia page, I stumbled upon his response to the question of why he chose acting, quoting the actor, “somewhere down the lane my life became monotonous and routine,” shared in a 2012 interview. Observing Dulquer Salmaan’s evolution as an actor in each film solidifies that acting was indeed his true calling. Despite being a superstar’s son, he avoided opting for a big film debut, convincing audiences as the guy next door and gradually erasing the “Mammootty’s son” notion. His good looks and captivating baritone were instant attractions, and as the audience noticed, the actor kept growing, skillfully avoiding the image trap by trying on new avatars.
