"King Of Kotha" had generated significant buzz, with its trailer being attached to the blockbuster "Gadar 2," which has amassed an impressive ₹419 crore at the box office. This release follows Dulquer Salmaan's recent venture, the web series "Guns and Gulaabs," where he portrayed a Narcotics department police officer, reported HT.
Dulquer Salmaan expressed optimism about capitalising on the film's opportune release, saying, "We can't have a bigger marketing than that, because people might have seen our trailer even now. So we hope that we can also ride the wave of right and time," reported ANI. He added, "In India, we all have a belief that if the time is good, everything will work, maybe their time is very good, so we can also benefit from it."
