Dulquer Salmaan Spotted In Maruti WagonR: Truth Vs Hype!
Dulquer Salmaan (DQ) is as much known for his car collection as he is for his acting career. He is known to possess a lot of expensive cars and SUVs, including an array of classics. "Does he have a Maruti WagonR in his garage?"- the internet began asking this question after an influencer shared a video on Instagram which showed someone who looks like the actor getting into a WagonR. It soon went viral, and many thought it was DQ himself. Let's do a fact-check on this...
The Video
In the video shared by the influencer, we see a man who looks like Dulquer Salmaan, walking by a road near the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, Kerala. He is dressed in casuals and has a sunglass on. He moves towards a White Maruti WagonR and unlocks it. He uses a key to do so. The man definitely has some swag and does look a lot like the actor.
The video was shared with a sarcastic text as the description. It reads 'For he did not speak of his own WagonR'. In a pinned comment, the creator has also revealed the man's true identity. He has clearly stated that the guy in the video is not Dulquer. But this did not stop netizens from showing up with funny and sarcastic comments.
Internet Reacts
The internet seems to have loved the creator's humorous take and soon joined him in making it funnier. "Dulqar pre-Facelift"- said a user, as the influencer here is a content creator based in the automotive niche. We found this to be the most hilarious comment. "Dq from meesho" commented another user, while a third user said "Actually this is what a first copy means".
Another user commented, "DQ’s daily drive if Mammootty had decided to be an advocate instead of a superstar". For the uninitiated, Dulquer is the son of Mammootty, one of the biggest names in Malayalam cinema. Before his film debut, Mammootty used to be an advocate. This is the backdrop for this comment.
There seems to be a group of people who actually thought this to be DQ. One of them commented that the Wagon R is really lucky to be the actor's car.
Who Is This Guy?
The person in the video is Anees, an event planner from Kerala's Malappuram. He runs the event planning company called Black Olive Events. Online media and Youtube channels in Kerala often given him ample attention and screen time for his visual resemblance to the actor.
Even the influencer here has mentioned about his company and career. Interestingly, this too has been done in a funny way. He said "He is an event planner, so if you want atleast some of your relatives to think you have DQ attending your wedding and making sure everything is alright, get in touch with him."
Cars, SUVs And Motorcycles Excite (The Real) Dulquer Salmaan
Like his dad, Dulquer is also crazy about cars and motorcycles. He has an expansive garage that ranges from mean, fast, modern machines like the Ferrari 296 GTB and a couple of Porsche 911s (one of which is finished in the iconic Miami Blue) to classics like older generation Land Cruiser SUVs, Nissan Patrol, BMW E30, Mercedes SLS AMG, BMW M3 E46, G63 AMG, the OG Defender and more.
DQ has a profound love for Porsches and was recently featured in one of its newsroom stories. He says that the first Porsche 911 that he bought belonged to the 991.2 generation. He has also owned a Panamera turbo.
Of late, we saw him striking poses with the Ultraviolette F77 range after their Euro debut in Paris. He was later seen riding it through Paris, with his daughter as the pillion. He is in fact an investor and backer of the performance electric motorcycle brand.
