Director Mahi V Raghav, known for his work in films like Yatra and Save The Tigers, is reportedly in discussions with Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan for a potential pan-India project. The collaboration, which is still in its early stages, has generated considerable excitement within the film industry.
A source close to the project revealed that Dulquer has shown interest in working with Mahi and they are exploring various story ideas. The ambitious project is being backed by renowned producer Allu Arvind, with pre-production work already underway.
Mahi V Raghav has gained recognition for his ability to depict nuanced relationships and portray compelling narratives. His work on Save The Tigers, which explored husband-wife dynamics, garnered critical acclaim. However, his series Shaitan, despite its hard-hitting theme of the cop-naxal conflict, was criticized for its excessive use of profanity and suggestive content. His recent film Yatra 2, starring Tamil actor Jiva, was a commercial disappointment.
Dulquer Salmaan, on the other hand, has become a popular figure among Telugu audiences with his stellar performances in films like Mahanati, Sita Ramam, and Lucky Bhaskar. His willingness to work with talented young directors who offer fresh perspectives has solidified his position as a versatile actor.
The potential collaboration between Mahi V Raghav and Dulquer Salmaan has caught the attention of industry insiders. Considering Mahi's success in Yatra, where he portrayed the late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, the film's success, and Dulquer's growing popularity in the Telugu market, this project has the potential to be a significant box office draw.
While details about the story and other aspects of the film are yet to be unveiled, the prospect of this collaboration has already ignited anticipation for the film.
