Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary’s film Lucky Baskhar is all set to hit the big screens on October 31, coinciding with the Diwali festival. Recently, the makers held a pre-release event where Vijay Deverakonda arrived to support his close friend. The Kushi actor addressed the crowd with a heartfelt speech and recalled his first meeting with Dulquer.

Vijay Deverakonda shared that he used to download Dulquer Salmaan’s movies from torrent sites. Eventually, he met the Lucky Baskhar actor for the first time on the sets of Mahanati when a producer wanted to do a multi-starrer film with them.

The former took a trip down memory lane and told how he became friends with Dulquer after meeting him at the event for the same film. Vijay also mentioned visiting her on the sets of Sita Ramam.

“We have acted in two films where we did not share the screen, Kalki 2898 AD and Mahanati,” added the Arjun Reddy actor.

Dulquer Salmaan felt overwhelmed after Vijay Deverakonda wished him all the best for his upcoming film. He also took the stage to address the crowd and said it was his “lucky charm.” DQ mentioned that the two have been friends for a very long time in showbiz.

Director Trivikram Srinivas was also present at the pre-release event of Lucky Baskhar. About Dulquer Salmaan, the filmmaker was quoted as saying by Times Now, “He effortlessly carried such a complicated character. No one can carry on the legacy of a legend like Mammootty; it’s difficult.”

The filmmaker added, “But Dulquer has carved a path for himself and he is already a great actor of modern times. The film gives every middle-class citizen the hope to take on the adventure and win.”

Meanwhile, Lucky Baskhar will clash with other releases during Diwali including Jayam Ravi’s Brother, Kavin’s Bloody Beggar and Sivakarthikeyan starrer Amaran.
