Lucky Baskhar is a smash hit at the box office and shows no signs of slowing down. Dulquer Salmaan is the new superstar in Telugu cinema, and his performance is being loved by everyone.

There has been news circulating that the role of Lucky Baskhar was initially offered to Nani, who reportedly did not want to play a father and rejected the film immediately.

With no other choice, Venky Atluri approached Dulquer, and the rest is history. However, a source close to the unit states that the news about Nani rejecting the film is false. The makers always had Dulquer Salmaan in mind, and his name was suggested by Venky Atluri and co-producer Trivikram Srinivas.

Nani would have brought his unique style to the role, but Dulquer’s portrayal has elevated the film to an entirely new level. Stay tuned for more updates on Lucky Baskhar.
