In an earlier interview with Goodtimes, Dulquer Salmaan had spoken about having strong familial ties in the industry. The actor is the son of South superstar Mammooty, and he says there is a certain fondness from audiences that comes from the position that he is in. It is not a bad thing, according to him, to have a family connection in the industry.
End of the day, I’m sure there’s a certain fondness for me that comes from being from my family and my father’s son. So in certain films like my second film was very family based film. I’m the youngest of 5 kids and I have 4 sisters in the film. So those things kind of endeared me to people’s homes, in some way I am family to them and when I work hard and I’m trying my best they really are encouraging and supportive, so I don’t think it is necessarily a bad thing.
