‘Guns and Gulaabs’: New motion poster featuring Dulquer Salmaan unveiled

Makers of the upcoming series Guns and Gulaabs on Tuesday unveiled a new motion poster featuring actor Dulquer Salmaan.

Taking to Instagram, director duo Raj and DK shared the motion poster and captioned it, “Suave, slick and sharp… what can you say to a guy with a gun, spouting philosophy! Introducing Arjun Varma @dqsalmaan! Guns & Gulaabs Trailer out TOMORROW!!”


The motion poster introduces Dulquer Salmaan as Arjun Varma. He could be seen in a dapper look holding a gun in his hand.

Soon after the makers unveiled the motion poster, fans flooded the comment section with red hearts and fire emoticons.

“Arjun Varma is going to be our fav character,” a fan commented.

Another fan wrote, “Too good.”

Makers will be unveiling the official trailer of the series on August 2.

Pulling off a casting coup, Guns and Gulaabs is a quirky, genre-blend that stars Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, T.J. Bhanu, and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles.

From the first kill to the first kiss, in Gulaabganj, anything can happen as gangs run riot, a cartel heir is reluctant to pull the trigger on his new life, a mechanic is looking for love and an officer is struggling to keep his secrets.

Inspired by the misfits of the world, Guns & Gulaabs is a story that depicts love and innocence, set in a world of crime. The series is set to uniquely blend the romance of the 90s with a crime thriller while effortlessly lacing it in humour.

Recently the makers unveiled the official teaser of the series.

The teaser begins with Rajkummar Rao crying but at beating someone. He is seen talking about one's dark side in the background. Glimpses of Dulquer as a policeman are also visible in the clip. Adarsh Gourav has also marked his presence. Seemed like he is playing a thug in the project.

Helmed by Raj & DK, Guns and Gulaabs will premiere on the streaming platform Netflix on August 18.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
