The trailer of Dulquer Salmaan's upcoming movie was unveiled by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and also by South legends Suriya, Mohanlal, and Nagarjuna. As the excitement builds up for the grand Onam releases, one film is grabbing the spotlight like never before - 'King of Kotha', featuring the talented Dulquer Salmaan.

The film marked a first for a Malayalam cinema as its trailer was played at the Times Square in New York. Actor Dulquer Salmaan took to Instagram and wrote, "Cannot contain my excitement. 'King of Kotha' has become the first Malayalam film to have its trailer played at New York City's Times Square. Having visited the busy and vibrant Time's Square several times, never even dreamed of appearing on the screens there. Big moment for me personally and the biggest tribute we can give to Malayalam Cinema."

Dulquer took to Instagram and shared a reel video, wherein we can see a glimpse of the trailer being featured at Times Square. People on the streets of New York can be seen cheering for the actor and recording videos of the trailer being played at the venue.

Directed by Abhilash Joshiy in his directorial debut, 'King of Kotha' has generated massive pre-bookings, setting a record-breaking trend. Jointly produced by Zee Studios and Dulquer's own Wayfarer Films, the film is all set to grace theatres on August 24.

Alongside Dulquer Salmaan, the film boasts an ensemble cast including Aishwarya Lekshmi, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, Gokul Suresh, Shammi Thilakan, Shanthi Krishna, and Anikha Surendran. With Nimish Ravi behind the camera lens and the musical talent of Shaan Rahman composing the score, 'King of Kotha' promises a complete cinematic experience. This is one of the most expensive films to have come out from Malayalam cinema and the most expensive that Dulquer has been a part of.

This movie marks a historic juncture for Malayalam cinema with its unique promotional endeavours and impressive pre-release reception. As the countdown begins for the much-anticipated release, all eyes are on 'King of Kotha' to see if it can live up to the monumental expectations it has set.
