Dulquer Salmaan says he got 'pushed around' in Bollywood sets: "Wouldn't find a chair to sit"

Highlights:

  • Dulquer Salmaan says he was pushed around on early Hindi film sets
  • Reveals he had to “create an illusion of stardom” just to get a chair
  • Compares Bollywood’s entourage culture with simple Malayalam sets
  • Says perception drives behaviour on larger Hindi productions
  • Actor gearing up for the release of Kaantha on Netflix and his next Malayalam film

Dulquer Salmaan has spoken plainly about how different his early days in Hindi cinema felt. The actor, now seen as a pan-India name, said the size and pace of the industry forced him to project a sense of stardom he did not believe in. It became a matter of survival on set. The comments came during a roundtable with THR India, where he revisited those first months after Karwaan and The Zoya Factor. He kept using one simple point to explain it: perception. A word that keeps coming up when artists talk about hierarchy on Mumbai sets.
