A confessed car enthusiast, actor Dulquer Salman recently opened up about owning several cars. However, he refused to reveal the exact number. In an interview, he said, “It’s not only an exotic collection. I have a lot of used cars, I also restore cars.” He went on to add that he can’t reveal the exact number of cars in his collection. “This might get me into trouble,” he says.
Talking about the roads he enjoys driving on, he said, “Best road for me was Route 1 in California. We did from SFO (San Francisco) to LA (Los Angeles). I did the coastal road from Monterey and it was a Sunday and you could see all the car clubs out, the Ferraris. The road is so gorgeous, it’s unbelievable. You are coming from such a height and suddenly you are at sea level. I have done it twice, I loved it so much. My dad and all were also there but they fell asleep. After they were out, I was like yaay.”
He also added that his driving is influenced by the music he listens to. “My driving is affected by the kind of music I listen to. If it’s a faster song, I drive faster. In fact, when I used to commute to work in Chennai and in Dubai, I used to get so much anxiety from road rage because there was just bad driving by people. That’s why I started to listen to Frank Sinatra and Dima, just to calm myself. I used to drive slowly and not get affected by how people were driving,” he said.
On the work front, Dulquer currently awaits the release of the upcoming Malayalam gangster drama ‘King of Kotha.’ It also features Shabbier Kallarakkal, Gokul Suresh, Aishwarya Lakshmi, Chemban Vinod Jose, and Shammi Thilakan in significant roles.
