Actor Dulquer Salmaan has a unique way of attracting attention towards himself. Recently, the actor recalled getting ignored on a film set repeatedly, and when he couldn’t take it any more, he did something that changed the scenario from nobody noticing him to many people hovering around him.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Dulquer shared that he believes, “If you don’t create bit of an aura around you, you will get pushed around. On set or anywhere, I just seek basic human respect”. He narrated the one instance when he was not even getting that basic respect on a set, so he had to take out his luxury car to get people to notice him.

“There was this one time where I was getting pushed around over and over again. I was like, ‘Why is this happening?’ I will be like, ‘Bhaiyaa, I am the actor in this film. You don’t see me? So, then I thought this is a perception thing and I was like, ‘Get the Porsche’,” shared Dulquer.

Asked if that changed things for him, the actor added, “Suddenly, everyone was like, ‘Oh some big actor has come.’ It changed things. I got a chair. Suddenly, people walked around me and not to me.”

Dulquer Salmaan owns several cars

Dulquer Salmaan is a car enthusiast, and owns several cars. He likes to collect old cars and this habit often makes his father Mammootty wonder if his son will open a museum to display his collection. But the actor always refuses to disclose the exact number of cars he owns. When asked about the number of cars he owns, he told Top Gear India, “This might get me into trouble,” and added, “I have a lot of used cars, I also restore cars.”

The actor had a great 2022 as the romantic drama Sita Ramam turned out to be a super hit. He also had Chup: Revenge of the Artist, which received mixed reviews, but the actor was praised for his turn as a serial killer. This year, he was recently seen in Raj and DK’s crime-thriller series Guns and Gulaabs. His one of the most anticipated Malayalam films, King Of Kotha, was released on August 24 and did decent business at the box office.
