Venky said, "As you finish all your commitments, I promise you, I'll come with Lucky Baskhar 2 soon."
Responding to the filmmaker's statement, Dulquer spoke about the overwhelming love he continues to receive for the character of Bakshar.
"Soon? Wherever I go, people recognise me from the film, and they call me Baskhar," he said.
Atluri also admitted that the prospect of making a sequel comes with added expectations. The director said he already feels the pressure of delivering a worthy follow-up to the successful first installment.
Dulquer, meanwhile, expressed his admiration for the filmmaker and said, "You are the one filmmaker I'll work with again, whether it's Lucky Baskhar 2 or even a fresh script."
While no official timeline for Lucky Baskhar 2 has been announced, the latest comments from Dulquer Salmaan and Venky Atluri suggest that the sequel is firmly on their minds.
Talking about Dulquer's I'm Game, our in-house critic outlined the film's premise in the review and wrote, "The movie revolves around Dan John (Dulquer Salmaan), a man who believes gambling is the way to live and that taking risks at the card table is like breathing. For Dan, every decision is a bet, and the bigger the risk, the greater the thrill. After suffering a loss of Rs 1.5 crore that must be repaid to a loan shark, he desperately turns to his parents for money. His father calls him a 'loser' and says he is bringing shame upon the family, as Dan is living off his father's identity."
The film is directed by Nahas Hidhayath.
