The buzz in Tollywood has hit a new high as Dulquer Salmaan and Pooja Hegde step onto the screen together for the first time. Their upcoming pan‑Indian film, tentatively titled #SLV10, is being shot in the mist‑laden hills where rain patters on rugged peaks and prayer flags flutter in the wind. Director Ravi Nelakudi, known for his visual flair, has turned the rugged terrain into a living set, blending snow‑capped cliffs, dense forests and an ancient shrine that becomes a backdrop for the lovers’ rendezvous.
Both stars were spotted in winter‑ready outfits, Dulquer in a snug, dark coat that highlighted his brooding charm, while Pooja radiated elegance in a vibrant red dress that cut through the gray skies. The pair shared genuine laughter under a shared umbrella as rain drummed on the ground—a candid moment captured by photographer Anurag Goswami that has already gone viral.
The storyline, described by the producers as a “beautifully emotional love tale,” weaves together adventure, devotion and the inevitable obstacles of a mountain trek. Anirudh Koshy’s sweeping score and cinematography by Anay Ghoswami promise to amplify the raw beauty of the locale, turning each frame into a postcard‑like visual.
Production designer Avinash Kolla has recreated a rustic temple complex that serves as the narrative’s spiritual heart, while the multilingual rollout—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam—ensures the film’s reach across India’s diverse audience. With the first schedule wrapped and fans already speculating about the chemistry, the Dulquer‑Pooja pairing could become the next big on‑screen romance, setting the stage for a grand release later this year.
