Versatile actor Dulquer Salmaan is back with his 41st film, tentatively titled DQ41, which is shaping up to be one of his most exciting projects yet. The film is currently being shot in Hyderabad and introduces Ravi Nelakuditi as a director, marking his debut behind the camera.
Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, DQ41 also holds special significance as it marks the company’s 10th production venture (#SLV10). This collaboration promises high-quality filmmaking and a heartfelt cinematic journey.
The makers officially confirmed Pooja Hegde as the female lead. This marks the first-ever on-screen pairing of Dulquer and Pooja, a duo. To mark the announcement, a special video was released, showing Pooja riding a scooty with Dulquer sitting behind her—hinting at their playful and chemistry.
Director Ravi Nelakuditi aims to weave a unique love story that balances heartfelt emotions with rich visuals. To bring this vision to life, the film features a strong technical crew:
- Anay Om Goswamy as cinematographer
- GV Prakash Kumar as music composer
- Avinash Kolla as production designer
One of the film’s biggest highlights is its Pan-India release. DQ41 will hit theatres in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, allowing audiences across India to experience the film simultaneously. This wide release underlines the growing appeal of Dulquer Salmaan, who continues to win hearts in every language he works in.
