Meet actor, who is the son of superstar, left his IT job, became overnight star with his second film, worked with Sunny Deol in..., his name is...
He's not just a performer, but a blend of charm, grace, and quiet intensity. Fondly called 'Kunjikka' by admirers, his journey didn't begin with glitz but with grounded ambition far from the arc lights. He didn't rely on a towering legacy alone; he earned his stripes with nuanced roles, linguistic versatility, and a magnetic screen presence. Be it a poetic, romantic, or a layered anti-hero, he becomes the character and shines on the big screen, whose shine will never fade away because he is not just an artist, but a blend of art and masterful craft. Who is this actor This remarkable actor is none other than Dulquer Salmaan, the son of legendary Malayalam icon Mammootty, who is currently celebrating his 43rd birthday. Born in 1986, in Kochi, he spent his early years studying in Chennai and then earned a business degree from Purdue University in the USA. After a stint in the IT business in Dubai, feeling uninspired, he enrolled in a three‑month acting course at Barry John Acting Studio in Mumbai and embraced cinema as his sacred profession. How did Dulquer Salmaan establish himself as an artist? Dulquer debuted with the gritty Malayalam crime drama Second Show (2012), playing a gangster, a role he chose deliberately to earn respect as a hero rather than rely on legacy. But it was Ustad Hotel later that same year where he played a chef named Faizy, garnering wide acclaim and a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut alongside his first Best Actor nomination. Bold choices in diverse roles from ABCD: American-Born Confused Desi to Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi helped build his reputation as a soulful entertainer. Notable works of Dulquer Salmaan By year 2014-15, Dulquer had exploded onto the pan‑Indian stage. He starred in Bangalore Days, one of Malayalam cinema's biggest hits, and ventured into Tamil with Vaayai Moodi Pesavum, winning a debut award. His performance in Charlie not only won him a Kerala State Film Award but also cemented his place as a charismatic lead across industries. He later appeared in O Kadhal Kanmani, Kurup, and debuted in Bollywood with Karwaan alongside Late Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar, The Zoya Factor with Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and critically acclaimed Chup with Shreya Dhanwanthary and Sunny Deol. Later, Dulquer reached new heights with the Telugu hits Sita Ramam and Lucky Baskhar, a smart black‑comedy crime drama, helmed by Venky Atluri. Made on a Rs 100 crore budget, the film grossed Rs 111.9 crore and made him the first Malayalam actor to win the Telangana State Film Award (Special Jury) for Best Actor. More about Dulquer Salmaan Beyond acting, he leads Wayfarer Films, his own production banner, steering Malayalam cinema toward new horizons. His upcoming slate includes Lokah – Chapter One: Chandra, a pioneering female‑led superhero film and the first 'superhero cinematic universe' in Malayalam, now in post‑production. On the personal front, he married Chennai‑based architect Amal Sufiya in 2011 through a quiet arranged wedding. Their daughter Maryam Ameerah, born in May 2017, is the pride of the family.

Sandra Thomas wears burqa in protest against sex offenders in positions of power at Kerala Film Producers Association
Actor-producer Sandra Thomas shocked everyone when she turned up in a burqa to file her nomination at the Kerala Film Producers Association (KFPA) for the upcoming elections. After filing her nomination, she told the press why she wore it in protest against sexual offenders sitting in positions of power. Sandra Thomas told the press that her wearing a burqa was a form of protest against the abusers in Producers Association. Sandra Thomas wears burqa to protest against sex offenders In videos Sandra re-shared on her Instagram, she can be seen dressed in a black burqa, with only her face left visible, as she filed a nomination at the KFPA. Manorama Online reported that she said, 'In light of my previous experience, I feel a veil is appropriate attire to wear in the presence of the current office bearers. This is also my protest against the four accused, who have been accused of a serious crime, still being administrators here. Moreover, they are also contesting in the upcoming elections as president and secretary.' Sandra also reportedly told the press that the KFPA is 'not a safe place for women', adding, 'This is an organisation that has been monopolised by ten to fifteen people for decades now. Changes must be made. No matter what place it is, it will stagnate if only a few people control it. The Producers Association is below all organisations in Malayalam cinema today because the current rulers have brought it to that state. The industry will only change when changes are made here.' About Sandra Thomas This is not the first time that Sandra has spoken up against sexual abuse and exploitation in the Malayalam film industry. She recently also claimed that producers set aside budgets in Mollywood to procure drugs for stars. In November 2024, Sandra was expelled from the producers' body on charges of breaching organisational discipline and norms. She had questioned the silence of film organisations, including KFPA, on the startling revelations made in the Hema Committee Report. In December 2024, the Ernakulam Sub Court stayed the order to expel her. Sandra has now filed a nomination to run for the Presidency of KFPA.

They wrote, 'Director Venu Sriram attempts to deliver a unique action-adventure film with an interesting backdrop. However, he completely fails.
