Director Venky Atluri's latest film, Lucky Bhaskar, starring Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary, has received positive reviews from audiences this Diwali. The movie, set in the banking sector, tells the engaging story of Bhaskar, an employee who exploits loopholes to accumulate wealth. Middle-class families are particularly connecting with the film's relatable themes.
Before making Lucky Bhaskar, Venky Atluri directed Saar, a successful film starring Dhanush. Interestingly, Atluri initially approached Telugu heroes with the Lucky Bhaskar script, but faced rejections. Nani, in particular, objected to playing a father's role, having already portrayed similar characters in Jersey and Hi Nanna.
Dulquer Salmaan was eventually approached, and despite initial reservations about playing a father again, he agreed to take on the role. The film's success has brought Dulquer closer to the Telugu audience, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
Lucky Bhaskar's positive word-of-mouth and box office collections demonstrate the film's appeal as a clean family entertainer. With its engaging storyline and strong performances, Venky Atluri's direction has resonated with viewers. As Dulquer Salmaan's popularity grows in Telugu cinema, fans eagerly anticipate his future projects.
