Malayalam actor Maqbool Salman, nephew of Superstar Mammootty, is foraying into K’town with a Tamil movie. Directed by Hashim Marikar, the film has three heroines opposite Maqbool. Popular Kannada award-winning actress, Harshika Poonacha, Paoli Dam known for her Hindi film Hate Story, and Shakshi Dwivedi, are debuting in Tamil. Riyaz Khan, a popular Malayalam actor, has been roped in as well for a crucial role.
Maqbool who has done more than a dozen Malayalam flicks, shared his opinion, “I am happy to be launched in Tamil. My periappa, Mammootty, is an all India star and my elder brother Dulquer Salman is a rising star. Like how you gave support to them in Tamil, I hope you extend the same support to me too.”
Harshika, on her part, said, “It was my dream to work in a Tamil movie. I want to do meaty roles and be part of good films and earn a name like Nayanthara.” Noted Malayalam banner Marikar Arts will be bankrolling the project.
