It’s late afternoon on a Sunday and we are at Dulquer Salmaan’s unassuming villa in an upmarket Kochi suburb. I am seated facing the actor on one of two sofas in a mini majlis-like setting inside an antechamber by the entrance, strategically placed so visitors need not enter the heart of the building.
Today, Dulquer the fashionable is off-duty. Dressed in an olive-green T-shirt, jeans and a pair of spectacles, the 33-year-old actor looks like a guy you would swap notes with if you missed a lecture. His signature mop, the crown that has been the inspiration for armies of lookalikes, is long and spirited, often falling over his face. Dulquer seems a lot like the chill characters he’s portrayed in his films, though obviously beneath the easygoing front this is an ambitious, hardworking, top-rung actor. “In our business, it’s easy to have a fabulous Friday but you’re only as good as the last Friday. Knowing that drives you.”
He’s currently in between trips to Mumbai, where he’s doing final bits of work for his latest Hindi film, The Zoya Factor, with Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, his second production in the language after Karwaan (2018). He arrived home on Saturday and leaves again the next day. In between the publicising, he plans to start a new Malayalam film called Kurup. Not surprising then that in just seven years he’s notched up over 30 film credits.
