King Of Kotha Director's Dig At Ashwanth Kok's Lollipop Comment On DQ's Smoking Style; Cites Vikram & Leo

King Of Kotha Director Abhilash Joshiy's Instagram Post: Dulquer Salmaan's movie 'King of Kotha' (KoK) premiered globally on August 24, spanning various languages like Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada.

After its premiere, the film garnered a mix of reviews. Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, this period gangster film showcases a talented ensemble cast, including Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, Gokul Suresh, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod Jose, and Shammi Thilakan. The movie is a joint venture between Zee Studios and Dulquer's own production company, Wayfarer Films.

In a recent Instagram post, "King Of Kotha" director Abhilash Joshiy has subtly taken a dig at popular movie reviewer Aswanth Kok's comments regarding Dulquer Salmaan's smoking style in the film. Aswanth Kok had previously mocked Dulquer Salmaan's smoking style, comparing it to licking a lollipop. In response, Abhilash Joshiy shared images of Kamal Haasan's smoking styles from the film "Vikram" and Arjun Sarja's style from the upcoming film "Leo." Abhilash Joshiy has also captioned his stories with a question: "Lollipop???". This post seems to be a tongue-in-cheek response to the lighthearted criticism, highlighting the director's confidence in the smoking style showcased in his own film. The post has garnered attention and sparked discussions among fans and film enthusiasts.
