Fiery King of Kotha teaser is out now 

Dulquer’s portrayal as the King in the new movie is intense and will look to leave a lasting impression on the viewers. Having played a serial killer in his last release Chup, which also received a positive response from the audience, fans have come to like his dark and gritty side. More of the same will be seen in King of Kotha. 

The teaser sets off on a mysterious tone and talks about the character like he is a myth. Dulquer appears in shadows,  which elevates his status as some kingpin. He features in silhouettes rather than coming out in the light. It is hinted that King of Kotha will see him play an anti hero, someone who is liked by the masses and picks a bone with those standing in his way, be it the police or the politicians. 

The cinematography and the thumping background score lends a mysterious aura to the character and elevates his mythical status. From the looks of it, King of Kotha seems to be set in a period, with vintage cars and the muted colours setting the tone.
