Now, as per reports, Dulquer will be teaming up with filmmaker R Balki for his third Bollywood project.
According to an entertainment portal's report, Dulquer and R Balki's maiden collaboration will be for an edge-of-the-seat thriller. A source close to the development told the portal, "He (R Balki) had been toying with the idea of making a thriller for a while now and the lockdown gave him the time to explore that space on paper.

Given the way his script shaped up, Balki and his team felt that Dulquer Salmaan would fit the bill and be apt for the protagonist’s part in the film."
