Dulquer Salmaan, the acclaimed actor, is basking in the glory of the most rewarding phase of his career. Following the success of his blockbuster hit 'Sita Ramam,' the actor has an enviable lineup of projects, including the highly anticipated 'King of Kota' and two debut OTT ventures titled 'Guns and Gulabs' in collaboration with Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. Amidst this whirlwind of achievements, Dulquer recently treated his fans to a melodious surprise with the release of his single titled 'Heeriye,' which is sung, composed, and produced by the talented Jasleen Royal.
Opening up about his latest musical venture, Dulquer expressed his joy in exploring new artistic territories. "A single is something that I haven't done before, and after shooting the same film 'King of Kota' for the past 6-7 months, working on 'Heeriye' felt like a refreshing vacation," he shared. The song serves as a delightful break from his film commitments, allowing him to embrace a different creative outlet.
Interestingly, Dulquer revealed a personal connection with Jasleen, adding a sentimental touch to the collaboration. Recounting the heartwarming bond, he revealed, "During my daughter's infancy, she would only fall asleep listening to Jasleen's soulful 'Din Shagna Da,' making it her cherished lullaby." This heartfelt connection further fueled the enthusiasm and dedication that both artists poured into creating 'Heeriye.'
As an artist always on the move, Dulquer mentioned that he found solace in listening to 'Ranjha' from the movie 'Shershah' during his travels from Spiti Valley to Chandigarh while shooting for 'Sita Ramam.' Music played a vital role in his life, both personally and professionally, making the collaboration with Jasleen all the more special.

Sharing a behind-the-scenes anecdote, Dulquer recalled a moment during the shoot of 'Heeriye' when Jasleen asked him to stay for an additional half-hour for extra shots. The actor was elated by this request, as it contrasted with the unpredictable working hours of Malayalam films. He playfully shared, "In Malayalam films, you never know when you're going home; they never tell you. When you ask, the response could be anything from 10 PM to 2 AM, and it's even possible to continue shooting throughout the night. Nothing is fixed. So, when Jasleen asked for 30 minutes, I was thrilled and gladly agreed, even offering her an hour if needed."
Dulquer Salmaan's versatility and dedication continue to win hearts, and 'Heeriye' adds another jewel to his illustrious career. With fans eagerly awaiting his future projects, this musical interlude showcases the actor's unwavering commitment to exploring new horizons and delivering exceptional performances in both acting and music.
