KFC Entertainments has acquired the theatrical rights of Kanulu Kanulanu Dochayante, which happens to be the 25th movie of Dulquer Salmaan. The distributors have spent a hefty sum on its promotion The hero was recently in Hyderabad to attend its publicity. Talking to media, he reveals what makes it unique and what to expect from it and more.

Talking about the bilingual film, he said, "People always ask me why I take a long gap between one bilingual and another. I have always felt that my latest film has very good potential in Telugu and Tamil. I've dubbed for myself and it's come out well. Not all films click in the bilingual space. It's a tricky because the tastes differ. Kanulu Kanulanu Dochayante has got a nice middle-ground in terms of cast and story."

Dulquer Salmaan added, "I am enjoying doing different languages. Ideally, I should be true to the language I am working in. It's not a calculated strategy. I go by my instinct. I am getting some knack of languages. People have been kind to give me opportunities in different languages. I am thankful to the welcoming audience as well as the filmmakers."
