Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India, Dulquer Salmaan said, “When I did Hindi films here, the two people that I would come with and I would just get pushed around on sets. I had to create this illusion of being a big star; otherwise, I wouldn't find a chair to sit on.”The actor added that he wasn't able to find a place behind the monitor because there were a lot of people. He explained that it was all about perception and that, if someone arrived in a fancy car with a lot of people, the perception would be that the person is a star.
He also added “I just couldn't understand. I don't want to be mean to any industry, but I guess it's a cultural thing. Rana and I were discussing that the size of the Hindi industry is so massive, the number of theatres, markets, and so many states that speak the language and watch those films. We have just 1-2 states, and we think that we are a big deal. Maybe the size of the industry influences things.”Dulquer Salmaan was recently seen in the lead role in the period drama Kaantha, directed by Selvamani Selvaraj. Set in the 1950s in Madras the film follows the story of TK Mahadevan, a superstar who has a face off with his mentor Ayya. The film also featured Rana Daggubati and Bhagyashri Borse in the lead.
