I love the way he championed it. He completely owned the film and that’s what he does with every film. He is not an actor for hire but one of the team,” said Bejoy.

‘Solo’, shot simultaneously in Tamil and Malayalam, featured four independent stories and starred Dulquer in a quadruple role. Upon release, it received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office. The cast included Neha Sharma, Dino Morea, and Sai Dhanshika.
