Dulquer Salmaan continues to strengthen his presence in Telugu cinema, with several projects lined up across languages. One such film is Aakasamlo Oka Tara, a drama that has been generating steady interest since its announcement. The actor remains a preferred choice for filmmakers as his films enjoy strong acceptance across Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam markets.

Directed by Pavan Sadineni, known for his inventive storytelling and distinctive visual sensibility, Aakasamlo Oka Tara is presented by Geetha Arts and Swapna Cinema. The film is produced by Sandeep Gunnam and Ramya Gunnam. Newcomer Satvika Veeravalli plays the female lead opposite Dulquer Salmaan, and the promos released so far have hinted at an emotionally driven narrative, raising expectations around the project.

Adding further intrigue to the film, the makers have now revealed that Shruti Haasan has joined the cast in a pivotal role. Known for being selective with her projects in recent years, Shruti’s inclusion has come as a pleasant surprise. Her first look from the film presents her in an intense, stripped-down avatar — wearing glasses, her gaze fixed downward, conveying a quiet but palpable emotional weight. The cigarette at her lips and the curling smoke add a gritty undertone, suggesting layers of conflict and unspoken backstory.

According to the team, Shruti Haasan’s character plays a decisive role in shaping the film’s narrative, marking a turning point in the story. Her entry is expected to add depth and complexity, steering the drama into a more intense emotional space.

The film boasts a strong technical crew, with GV Prakash Kumar composing the music, Sujith Sarang handling cinematography, and Shwetha Sabu Cyril overseeing production design. Currently in the final stages of production, Aakasamlo Oka Tara is being planned as a pan-India release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam, with a summer 2026 release on the cards.aka
