Dulquer Salmaan Faces Heat As Woman Files Serious Complaint
The Malayalam actor, who’s built his space across languages and industries, woke up to headlines no star wants to see.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 16 Oct 2025 4:03 PM ISTFame can sometimes drag you into places you never meant to go. Dulquer Salmaan, usually known for his calm, composed image, suddenly finds his name caught up in a storm. The Malayalam actor, who’s built his space across languages and industries, woke up to headlines no star wants to see. A young woman filed a police complaint at Ernakulam South, claiming she was harassed by someone using the name of his company, Wayfarer Films.
The woman said a man named Dinil Babu called her for what sounded like a normal audition near Panampilli Nagar. But when she got there, things turned wrong. She said he tried to take advantage of her and threatened her about future film chances if she didn’t cooperate. She’s also shared voice notes and chats as proof. The police have already taken it up and started investigating the case.
Wayfarer Films didn’t stay quiet. They quickly put out a statement saying Dinil Babu has nothing to do with their team or any of their movies. They said he’d been using the company’s name for fake casting calls and have now filed their own complaint at Thevara police station and with FEFKA. They also warned people not to believe anyone who claims to represent them unless it’s through their verified pages. The tone was clear, they’re not taking this lightly.
Dulquer himself hasn’t said a word yet, and that silence has only made people talk more. Some say it’s unfair to drag his name in, while others think big banners should take extra care of how their brand is used. For someone who usually keeps a clean slate, this mess feels out of character. Whether it fades in a week or stays around longer, it’s one of those moments that remind everyone, fame doesn’t always come with peace.
