Mammootty and his son Dulquer Salmaan are heading for an unusual box-office clash on November 20, with both their films arriving in theatres on the same day. While Mammootty is part of Dhanush’s OM, Dulquer is playing the lead in Pavan Sadineni’s Telugu film Aakasamlo Oka Tara. The simultaneous releases have naturally become a talking point among fans.
Speaking at a promotional event for Aakasamlo Oka Tara, Dulquer had an interesting way of describing his father’s film. He referred to OM as a “big whale” arriving alongside his film and pointed out that the two belong to different genres and languages. He also encouraged audiences to watch both films and enjoy the weekend.
Dulquer’s comment gives a lighter touch to the talk around the father-son clash. Rather than treating Mammootty‘s film as a competitor, he seems to be welcoming its arrival on the same date and believes both films can find their own audiences.
OM also features Sai Pallavi, Sreeleela and others, while Aakasamlo Oka Tara stars debutant Satvika Veeravalli, with Shruti Haasan playing an important role. With both films set for November 20, audiences will get to see the father and son on the big screen on the same day.
