Veteran actor Mammootty is among the few stars in Indian cinema who has maintained a clear distinction between his personal affection for his son Dulquer Salmaan and his professional journey. While Mammootty has often spoken fondly about Dulquer, he has rarely used his public platform to promote his son’s career. However, this time, the superstar surprised fans with a rare and heartfelt birthday gesture.
On Dulquer Salmaan’s birthday on July 28, Mammootty shared a candid father-son picture along with a special message that instantly caught attention. Addressing Dulquer with an affectionate nickname he had never used in any of his earlier birthday posts, Mammootty simply wrote, “Happy Birthday, Chaalu.”
Gold 101.3FM UAE’s No.1 radio station continues to bring listeners the latest updates from the entertainment world, connecting fans with memorable moments from their favourite stars and the biggest stories from cinema.
Dulquer Salmaan, who continues to win hearts with his unique style, versatility, and screen presence, recently turned 43. The actor is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming Malayalam film ‘I’m Game’, which is expected to arrive in theatres during the Onam festive season.
The birthday photograph shared by Mammootty showcased the close bond between the father and son. In the picture, Dulquer is seen wearing an olive green shirt while leaning affectionately towards his father. Mammootty, known for his timeless style, looks equally charismatic in a headgear and sunglasses, making the picture a favourite among fans.
Mammootty’s production house, Mammootty Kampany, also shared a special birthday tribute for Dulquer, wishing him continued success in his cinematic journey. The message highlighted his passion for storytelling, memorable performances, and dedication to cinema while wishing him happiness, good health, and many more milestones ahead.
Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan has another reason to celebrate as his successful Telugu film ‘Lucky Bhaskar’ recently earned national recognition. The film won the National Award for Best Screenplay/Dialogue, with writer-director Venky Atluri receiving the honour.
Looking ahead, Dulquer has an exciting lineup of projects, including ‘Sri Sri’ and ‘Aakasamlo Oka Tara’, adding to his growing list of diverse roles across multiple film industries.
