Dulquer
Salmaan’s
fourth
post-pandemic
release
Salute
has
become
the
latest
to
join
the
OTT
bandwagon.
Directed
by
celebrated
director
Rosshan
Andrrews,
the
film
will
release
exclusively
on
SonyLIV
on
March
18,
2022.
Though
an
official
confirmation
is
awaited,
reports
suggest
that
the
cop
drama
will
start
streaming
on
the
popular
platform
from
9
pm
onwards.
Salute
will
be
releasing
in
5
languages-Malayalam,
Hindi,
Tamil,
Telugu
and
Kannada.
Earlier,
announcing
the
film’s
OTT
release,
SonyLIV
had
tweeted,
“Dulquer
Salmaan
as
SI
Aravind
Karnakaran
will
take
charge
on
Sony
LIV
from
March
18!
The
investigative
thriller
Salute
will
be
streaming
on
SonyLIV
in
Malayalam,
Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil
and
Kannada.”
The
crime
thriller
has
been
backed
by
Dulquer’s
banner
Wayfarer
Films.
The
film
was
pushed
from
its
theatrical
release
on
January
14,
owing
to
the
pandemic.
Announcing
the
big
news
through
Instagram,
Dulquer
wrote,
“SonyLIV
and
Wayfarer
films
are
glad
to
come
together
to
bring
you
#Salute
directed
by
Roshan
Andrews
and
written
by
Bobby-Sanjay.”
Ever
since
the
announcement,
the
leading
man
has
been
sharing
sneak-peeks
of
the
film,
which
clearly
evinces
how
gripping
Salute
is
going
to
be.
The
film
has
Aslam
K
Purayil
as
the
cinematographer
while
A
Sreekar
Prasad
handles
the
editing
department.
Jakes
Bejoy
has
composed
songs
and
background
score
for
the
entertainer.
Notably,
music
director
Santhosh
Narayanan
was
first
signed
to
compose
music
for
Salute
but
was
later
replaced
by
Bejoy,
owing
to
reasons
best
known
to
the
team.
On
a
related
note,
Dulquer
was
previously
seen
in
Hey
Sinamika
opposite
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
and
Kajal
Aggarwal.
His
most
anticipated
film
Kurup
had
also
been
released
post
the
pandemic.
His
production
venture
Maniyarayile
Ashokan
had
him
playing
a
cameo
role.
Up
next,
he
will
be
seen
being
a
part
of
Chup:
Revenge
of
the
Artist
and
a
yet-to-be-titled
film
of
Hanu
Raghavapudi.
