Dulquer Salmaan And R. Balki To Collaborate For A Thriller, Confirms PC Sreeram; Read Deets

Actor Dulquer Salmaan is set to collaborate with director R Balki on a feature film, veteran cinematographer PC Sreeram has announced. Billed as a "psychological thriller", the project also reunites Salmaan and Sreeram after the 2015 hit romance drama "O Kadhal Kanmani".

"My next project with Balki will have Dulquer Salman... Eagerly waiting to start work. #RBalki @dulQuer," the multiple National Award-winning cinematographer wrote on Twitter Tuesday night. See the tweet here:

Salmaan, who predominantly features in Malayalam films, has worked in Hindi movies like "Karwaan" and "The Zoya Factor". This will be his third Hindi feature film.

Earlier, a source had told Pinkvilla, "He (Balki) worked on the idea and developed it into a full-fledged screenplay. Given the way his script shaped up, Balki and his team felt that Dulquer Salmaan would fit the bill and be apt for the protagonist’s part in the film."

In a career spanning 40 years across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages, Sreeram has films such as "Nayakan", "Geethanjali", "Koodum Thedi", "Alaipayuthey", Balki's "Cheeni Kum" and "Putham Pudhu Kaalai" to his credit. The director of photography, who is one of the founding members of Indian Society of Cinematographers (ISC), is known for his collaborations with Mani Ratnam and Balki.
