Dulquer Salmaan is awaiting the release of what is touted to be his career's most significant release: King of Kotha. The actor has been working tirelessly to promote the film, meeting audiences across the country.

In a recent interview, Dulquer expressed his gratitude for being offered roles that resonate with viewers. He also revealed his concern about losing meaningful characters and the comfortable position he currently holds in the film industry.

Dulquer Salmaan on the genuine connection he shares with the audience

"I have been very fortunate to get characters that have left a mark in the minds of the audience. The people connect to an actor through the roles and films he has done. When I was offered Mahanati, I wasn't a big star in Telugu. But I have always given my all when an opportunity has been given to me. As a person, I cannot be fake. I have always been true to myself. So, I think that the audience connects with me and they feel that they know me," Dulquer told TV9 Entertainment.
