Dulquer Salmaan Releases High-Budget Film 'I'm Game' Aiming for Franchise SuccessPreviousNext

Actor Dulquer Salmaan is set to release his highest-budgeted film, 'I'm Game,' on September 3 in five languages. The gangster action thriller, directed by Nahas Hidhayath and produced under Dulquer's Wayfarer Films, represents a strategic investment to build a franchise universe. Despite recent films receiving critical praise, Dulquer has faced challenges achieving box office hits. He delayed the release from the lucrative Onam season to ensure better timing, acknowledging financial risks but aiming for long-term success.
