Dulquer expresses gratitude, posts picture with Amitabh Bachchan

Child artist Dulquer Salmaan has earned appreciation from several celebrities for his role in Mani Ratnam’s Tamil romantic comedy ‘OK Kanmani’. But for him, the most special compliment came from Amitabh Bachchan. Dulquer posted an old picture with Big B, thanking him for his kind words. “I've been searching for this picture for some time. Mr Bachchan is the one celebrity I wanted a picture with”, he wrote.

Junior Mammooty also shared the story behind that picture. “I remember requesting my father to take me to get a picture with him. So, during the AMMA show in 1995, one early morning, Vappichi loaded his SLR camera with some black and white film and drove me to Taj Malabar. Mr Bachchan was eating his breakfast and offered me some idlis. Though I had already eaten, I couldn't say no to him”, he wrote.

“My life has come full circle now. When The Amitabh Bachchan himself wrote about OK Kanmani! Thank you sir for the kind words... Thank you for always inspiring us with your performances, accomplishments and every obstacle you have faced and overcome”, he added. Mr. Bachchan who watched ‘OK Kanmani’ with daughter Shweta, praised Dulquer on his blog, “Values are not lost in the practices that this generation may desire, but sufficient understanding on both parts is beautifully portrayed by two young performers who play the lead”.
