Dulquer Salmaan’s Lucky Baskhar is not done winning just yet. After emerging as the most successful film of the actor’s career, the buzz around a possible sequel has finally turned into a thrilling reality. Director Venky Atluri has confirmed that a follow-up to the 2024 Telugu-language blockbuster is officially in development, sending fans into a frenzy of excitement.
Produced by Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinema, and Srikara Studios, Lucky Baskhar hit theatres worldwide on October 31, 2024, just in time for Deepawali. The film opened to rave reviews from both audiences and critics, quickly turning into a box office juggernaut with a global collection of Rs 111.22 crore.
Plot of Lucky Baskhar
Set in the gritty backdrop of 1990s Bombay, the period crime drama starred Dulquer Salmaan in the titular role. The film followed Baskhar Kumar, a lower-middle-class bank cashier whose descent into smuggling and financial fraud is driven by desperation to escape debt and humiliation. As his illegal ventures begin to reshape his family’s life, Baskhar finds himself tangled in the complex underbelly of banking scams, hawala networks, and stock market manipulation—all while dealing with moral dilemmas and mounting pressure from powerful players.
The ensemble cast featured Meenakshi Chaudhary, Tinnu Anand, P. Sai Kumar, Ramki, Raghu Babu, Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, Sachin Khedekar, and Y. Kasi Viswanath. Venky Atluri served as both writer and director, earning widespread praise for crafting a compelling narrative that merged intense socio-political commentary with high-stakes drama.
The sequel announcement, reported by 123Telugu, comes as no surprise, given the film's resounding success and cult-like following. While plot details remain under wraps, fans are already speculating whether the new chapter will continue Baskhar’s story post-escape or introduce a new protagonist in the same world of white-collar crime.
