Director Venky Atluri has officially confirmed that a sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful film Lucky Baskhar, starring Dulquer Salmaan, is currently in development. The announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans and industry observers.
In a recent interview, Atluri revealed that the sequel, titled Lucky Baskhar 2, is in the scripting stage. However, he noted that production may take some time as both he and lead actor Dulquer Salmaan are currently engaged in other projects. Atluri is presently directing Suriya 46, featuring Tamil actor Suriya, and is expected to shift his focus to the sequel after the film’s completion.
Lucky Baskhar, which released last year, followed the journey of Bhaskar, an ordinary bank cashier in late 1980s and early 1990s Bombay, who overcomes debt and social stigma to achieve unexpected success. The film was widely praised for its strong narrative, compelling performances, and engaging screenplay, marking a significant milestone in Dulquer Salmaan’s career.
The sequel announcement has sparked enthusiasm among fans, with many eagerly awaiting further details regarding the storyline and release timeline. Film analysts predict that the sequel could mirror the success of its predecessor, further cementing its place in Dulquer’s filmography.
