R Balki Opens Up About Casting Dulquer Salmaan For His Upcoming Psychological Thriller Chup

R
Balki
recently
unveiled
the
teaser
of
his
film

Chup
on
Bollywood
legend
Guru
Dutt’s
birthday.
Paying
an
ode
to
him,
the
teaser
directly
pointed
to
the
criticism
that
the
legendary
director
received
for
his
masterpiece

Kaagaz
Ke
Phool.
The
teaser
of

Chup
has
gained
a
lot
of
appreciation
from
the
fans
and
the
release
of
the
psychological
thriller
has
become
one
of
the
most
awaited
ones
in
recent
times.

Balki,
who
is
working
with
Dulqer
Salmaan
in
the
film,
recently
opened
up
on
casting
the
south
star
for
his
film
and
the
reason
comes
as
a
surprise.
The
filmmaker
said,
“For
Chup,
I
was
lucky
to
have
someone
super
talented,
a
superstar
in
one
half
of
the
country,
who
speaks
Hindi
as
if
it’s
his
mother
tongue
and
who
can
be
a
terrific
discovery
for
the
other
half
of
the
country.
I
wanted
a
relatively
fresh
face
for
Hindi
Cinema
with
the
acting
muscle
of
a
veteran
and
then
I
found
Dulquer.
I
narrated
the
film
to
him
on
Zoom
during
the
lockdown,
and
that
was
it.
We
met
for
thirty
minutes
or
so
in
Cochin
and
then
directly
on
the
set.
I
never
even
had
to
do
a
reading
or
a
workshop
with
him”

R
Balki’s
search
for
novelty
paved
way
for
the
casting
of
Dulquer
in
the
thriller
and
the
filmmaker
is
certain
that
this
will
give
his
audience
a
never-like-before
watch.
It
must
be
noted
that
Dulquer
Salmaan
has
been
carrying
the
most
versatile
roles
and
delivering
them
with
utmost
dedication.
His
diverse
roles
like

Kurup,
Hey
Sinamika,
Salute
and

Sita
Ramam
highlight
his
versatility
as
an
actor.
With
R
Balki’s
thriller,
Salmaan
is
all
set
to
add
another
interesting
role
to
his
list.

Chup
is
R
Balki’s
debut
in
the
genre
of
blood
and
kills.
A
thriller
of
global
significance,
the
movie
is
conceptually
touted
as
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
world.
Others
headlining
the
power-packed
cast
of
the
film
are
Sunny
Deol,
Shreya
Dhanwanthary,
and
Pooja
Bhatt.
The
movie
is
all
set
to
release
on
September
23.
