\r\nDulquer Salmaan, popular hero producer, son of superstar Mammootty, has approached the Kerala High Court seeking the release of his luxury vehicles seized by the Customs Department during \'Operation Numkhor\'. The actor claims that the seizure was unlawful and demands the return of his vehicles. According to the petition, Customs authorities took into custody one of the four vehicles owned by Dulquer, which includes two Land Rovers and two Nissan models.\r\nDulquer argues that he has produced all necessary records to prove his ownership, including payment receipts, and therefore, there\'s no justification for the continued detention of the vehicle. He emphasizes that he purchased the cars by paying cash in accordance with the law and has all supporting documents for verification. Despite submitting complete documentation, Dulquer alleges that Customs officials ignored the records relating to the seized car and issued a seizure memo without proper inquiry.\r\nOperation Numkhor and Its Implications\r\nThe Customs Department launched \'Operation Numkhor\' to crack down on luxury car smuggling in Kerala, identifying 36 vehicles and tracing over 150 untraced vehicles. The operation aims to curb tax evasion and money laundering in the high-end vehicle market. Dulquer\'s case has drawn attention to high profile celebrity ownership of luxury vehicles and the scrutiny they face from enforcement agencies.\r\nThe Kerala High Court has directed Customs to file its reply to the petition and posted the matter for further hearing on September 30. The outcome of this case could set a significant precedent in disputes involving the seizure of high value personal property by enforcement agencies.\r\n

Whenever I choose a project, it&rsquo;s not about what people think of the person, or what they don&rsquo;t think about the person.\"\r\nHe added \"It&rsquo;s an entertainment business. I think about the characters I will play. Unless they don&rsquo;t have substance, they don&rsquo;t motivate me, or I don&rsquo;t have the gut instinct about them, I don&rsquo;t want to do them. For me, I love the way Sandeep Reddy Vanga brings out the other side of every character which is not shown in movies, because movies are always about good.\"\r\nHe continued \"Every good has bad in it, but he brings out the grey shades in every character. He brings a reality to it in a commercial way. When he offered me \'Animal\' I couldn&rsquo;t believe that he had messaged me. For me, working with Sandeep Reddy Vanga was the biggest moment, and I&rsquo;m not just saying that,\"&nbsp;\r\n&nbsp;
