On the work front, Dulquer Salmaan will be seen in Hey Sinamika, co-starring Aditi Rao Hydari and Kajal Aggarwal. The film revolves around a couple, played by Salmaan and Hydari, and how after five years into their marriage, the fiercely independent woman has had enough of her doting and fussy stay-at-home husband. Her strange and outrageous plans to separate leads to hilarious consequences.

Salmaan will also be seen in Kurup, which will release in five languages including Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada.

Talking about Alia Bhatt's film line-ups, she is busy with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi, a film reportedly revolving around the life of a brothel owner and matriarch, and SS Rajamouli's ambitious upcoming film, RRR. Alia will also be seen in Ayan Mukerji's action fantasy drama Brahmastra, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Mouni Roy, Amitabh Bachchan and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna.
