After Sita Ramam, Kurup, Mahanati, and King of Kotha, Dulquer Salmaan is set to take us to another period setting with the Venky Atluri film Lucky Baskhar. The movie, which also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary, is set to hit the screens this Diwali. The team has started the promotional rounds of Lucky Baskhar, and released the first single from the film. 

Composed by GV Prakash Kumar, the song, titled “Srimathi Garu”, is picturised on the lead pair of Dulquer and Meenakshi, who play a married couple in the film. In the music video, we can see them going even more back in time to show how love blossomed between the lead pair, and it is filled with moments of cuteness and warm nostalgia. Sung by Vishal Mishra and Shweta Mohan, “Srimathi Garu” has been written by Shreemani.

Earlier, in an interaction facilitated by the makers of Lucky Baskhar, Meenakshi Chaudhary assured that she would be playing a full-length role in the film, and it provided her the opportunity to showcase her talent. Although, she was part of huge hits in Tamil (GOAT) and Telugu (Guntur Kaaram) in 2024, she played roles with limited screentime in these movies. In the same interaction, Dulquer revealed that he is taking a break from starring in films with a period setting after his upcoming film, Kaantha, which is set to take us back to the 50s.
