Dulquer Salmaan<\/a>, who is preparing for the release of his much-awaited period drama Kaantha, revealed in a recent conversation that despite his success, he still faces criticism from some viewers who doubt his acting skills.<\/p>\n

\"Dulquer Dulquer Salmaan is receiving praise for his work in Kaantha which is set to hit the theaters on November 14. Dulquer Salmaan talks about criticism<\/p>\n

In a conversation with Gulte Pro<\/a>, Dulquer admitted, \u201cMy character\u2019s title is Naditu Chakravarthy. I don\u2019t believe I\u2019m a great actor. There\u2019s always a section of the audience that says I can\u2019t act. Sometimes I read those comments and start questioning myself, am I not good enough? That fear is always there.”<\/p>\n

However, he shared that this very fear fuels his ambition. \u201cIt pushes me to work harder, to take on tougher roles. When I play someone known as a phenomenal actor, I want people to believe I deserve that part, that no one else could\u2019ve done it better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dulquer Salmaan, son of superstar Mammootty, made his debut with Second Show (2012) and quickly became one of India\u2019s most versatile actors. Known for his charm and nuanced performances, he\u2019s delivered acclaimed roles in Charlie, Mahanati, Kurup, and Sita Ramam, earning pan-India recognition for his thoughtful script choices and effortless screen presence.<\/p>\n

About Kaantha<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kaantha has landed in legal trouble after B Thiagarajan, grandson of legendary actor-musician Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, filed a petition in a Chennai court seeking to halt its release. He alleged that the film misrepresents Bhagavathar as a man of \u201cloose morals,\u201d calling it defamatory and disrespectful to his legacy.<\/p>\n

Directed by Selvamani Selvaraj, Kaantha stars Dulquer alongside Samuthirakani, Bhagyashri Borse, and Rana Daggubati. The film, jointly produced by Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri, and Jom Varghese under Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films, promises a gripping story about the creative and emotional clash between an actor and his mentor. It is slated for release in Tamil and Telugu on November 14.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dulquer Salmaan, who is preparing for the release of his much-awaited period drama Kaantha, revealed in a recent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,37125,134,137513,37127,344,163625,163626],"class_list":{"0":"post-283248","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-dulquer-salmaan","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-kaantha","13":"tag-mammootty","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-period-drama","16":"tag-tamil-and-telugu-release"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
