The announcement sparked an outpouring of excitement from fans, who flooded Dulquer’s social media with celebratory messages. Many welcomed his return to Malayalam cinema with comments like “Time to return to the kingdom,” “Home ground welcomes you,” and “Prince came back to his kingdom.” Others couldn’t stop raving about his fierce look in the poster, calling it a “kidu look” and declaring, “King is back.” Several fans also hinted at high expectations, with one writing, “Let’s make sure to burn this time,” while another teased that his “next will be a very big Malayalam film… a cool, slick, stylish, fun film.”
Dulquer’s last outing
Dulquer was most recently seen in Kaantha, a period drama set in 1950s Madras, which received mixed feedback from audiences. The film follows the intense, complicated relationship between rising star T. K. Mahadevan (played by Dulquer) and his mentor Ayya (Samuthirakani), a filmmaker whose guidance ultimately spirals into conflict.
Bhagyashri Borse stars as Kumari, Mahadevan’s love interest, while Rana Daggubati plays Inspector Devaraj, also known as “Phoenix,” a pivotal figure in a mysterious crime that unfolds amid clashing egos and growing ambition. Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha is produced by Wayfarer Films and Spirit Media. It received positive reviews upon release.
