Dulquer Salmaan Reveals His Dream Casting Choice for a Dalapati Remake – And It’s Not Himself

If Dalapati is remade with me, that actor should play Rajini’s role: Dulquer Salmaan

Dalapati is a 1991 film directed by Mani Ratnam starring Rajinikanth and Mammootty. Dalapati was the magic of Mani Ratnam, who carried the friendship of Karna and Duryodhana from the Mahabharata into a new era. Starring Rajinikanth as Surya and Mammootty as Deva, the film was a huge success at that time. Now we’re still talking about the film.

Dulquer’s response to the question of which South Indian superstar he would like in the remake of Dalapati during the promotion of his latest film Lucky Bhaskar has gone viral. The options given by the host were Telugu actors Junior NTR, Allu Arjun and Rana Daggubati. The question was, who will play the role of Rajinikanth if Dulquer gets the role of Mammootty?

Dulquer chose Rana over Allu and NTR. Dulquer said that Rana is one of the best Telugu actors right now and this is the best time to work with him. Dulquer added that Rana is also an actor who has surprised him many times.

‘Dalapati is a film considered to be an all-time classic. I can’t do anything like what Wapachi did. I will be happy if I get the role of Vapachi when the movie is remade. I suggest Rana Daggubati for the role of Deva played by Rajini sir. Allu and Tarak are good stars.

But I think this is the best time to work with Rana. His performance in many films amazed us all. Rana is one of my favorite actors. Have fun working with him.
