Shah Rukh Khan reacted to the trailer for Dulquer Salmaan’s upcoming film King of Kotha on social media. Dulquer Salmaan plays a rugged ‘angry young man’ in the Hindi version of the action thriller, which Shah Rukh shared. Dulquer responded to the post by thanking Shah Rukh and declaring himself a “fanboy forever.”
Shah Rukh responded by writing, “Congratulations on the impressive #KOKTrailer , @dulQuer ! Looking forward to the movie. Big hug to you and wishing the entire team a big success!” He shared the trailer’s link and tagged the film’s other cast members, including Aishwarya Lekshmi and Shabeer Kallarakkal.
Dulquer is introduced in the trailer as an ambitious young man who aspires to be a notorious goon like his father. The voiceover then introduces Raju as the “people’s hero.” Dulquer’s character says, as we see him beat up goons and carry on with his business, “A real man will carry his love to the grave.” When difficulties arise in his Kotha, he must confront the opposing forces with full force. King of Kotha, directed by Abhilash Joshiy, will be released on August 24.
