dulquer-salmaan-s-lucky-baskhar-to-release-on-diwali

Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming multilingual film "Lucky Baskhar", originally planned for a September release, has been rescheduled to hit the screens on October 31 to coincide with the festive occasion of Diwali.

 

The movie, set in Mumbai and directed by Venky Atluri, has faced several delays. It was most recently slated for release in Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi on September 7 during Ganesh Chaturthi.

 

Production house Sitara Entertainments shared the update on its official X handle captioned as: "Postponing releases can impact social media reputation, but it's essential for our film's quality!" The makers said while they understand fans' anticipation towards "Lucky Baskhar", in which Dulquer has delivered "one of his finest performances", they want to deliver the film without compromising on quality.

 

"... Our ace technical crew recreated '80s and '90s Mumbai with extensive sets. Similarly, we are not compromising on dubbing quality in various languages, we want to make it sound and feel as authentically native as possible in every language.

 

"Being a multilingual film and a grand pan-India release, we need some more time to achieve the quality we aspire to. With a heavy heart, we have decided to postpone the film. 'Lucky Baskhar' will now release on Diwali, 31 October 2024," the banner said in a statement.

 

"Lucky Baskhar" is also produced by Fortune Four Cinemas and Srikara Studios. Meenakshi Chaudhary rounds out the cast of the film.
