Dulquer Salman’s Film Career
Dulquer started his film career in 2012 with Second Show directed by Srinath Rajendran. Before acting, he worked at an IT firm in Dubai but left due to the job’s monotony.

His breakthrough came with the film Ustad Hotel, directed by Anwar Rasheed and written by Anjali Menon, which remains one of his most memorable performances.
Despite setbacks like Theevram not performing well at the box office, Dulquer’s career gained momentum. He collaborated with director Martin Prakkat in ABCD: American-Born Confused Desi where he also debuted as a playback singer. In 2013 he showcased his versatility with roles in the adventure-thriller Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi and his first full-fledged romantic movie Pattam Pole.
In 2014 Dulquer Salman did the Tamil film Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (titled Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in Malayalam).

In 2015 Dulquer’s performances in 100 Days of Love and Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani solidified his reputation as a romantic hero. His role in Charlie earned him his first Kerala State Award for Best Actor. The film was later remade in Marathi and Tamil.
Between 2016 and 2017 Dulquer continued to impress with roles in Kali, Kammatipaadam, Jomonte Suvisheshangal, Comrade in America (CIA) and the anthology Solo directed by Bejoy Nambiar.
