Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar gets a new release date

The makers of Dulquer Salmaan starrer Lucky Baskhar have set a new release date for their film. Earlier slated for a July release, the heist-drama will now hit theatres on September 27.

Lucky Baskhar marks Dulquer’s third venture in Telugu cinema; he has earlier worked in big-scale movies like Mahanati (2018) and Sita Ramam (2022), both of which were period movies as well. The upcoming film also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary in a prominent role. 

Earlier, the makers of Lucky Baskhar had released their film’s teaser on the occasion of Dulquer’s birthday. Set in late 1980's and early 1990's, the film promises to chronicle the extra-ordinary life journey of a simple bank cashier (played by Dulquer Salmaan). Reportedly, the film is in the final leg of shooting.

Lucky Baskhar is written and directed by Venky Atluri, who  last directed the 2023 Dhanush starrer Vaathi. GV Prakash Kumar has composed the music for the film. Nimish Ravi is the cinematographer for the film, while the editing is by Navin Nooli. Balan is the art director. 

Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya, who have bankrolled the project under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, are planning a pan-India release for the film.
