If the rumor is true, it would mark another step in Dilraba Dilmurat’s expansion into film. She has already tried a different kind of role in the film Kung Fu Soccer (功夫女足), after being known for years for her work in costume romance dramas.
Her commercial value has largely been built on the television drama market, particularly romance series. Film is a path worth exploring but not an easy one, since production timelines, the weight of a role, and the style of acting all differ from television.
Li Yu is known as a director with a knack for developing female characters. If Dilraba Dilmurat ends up joining the project, it would be a departure from her previous commercial work.
Meanwhile, Dilraba Dilmurat’s name has also been trending after her father appeared in a livestream selling agricultural products. Dilimulati Aibaidula was invited by the Aksu Prefecture Commerce Bureau to help promote Aksu bingtangxin apples (literally “rock sugar core” apples). In about 20 minutes, the stream sold nearly 7,000 orders and ranked first on the fresh produce livestream sales chart.
During the broadcast, he made no deliberate mention of his daughter’s celebrity status. Even so, the public has revisited an older interview in which Dilraba Dilmurat spoke about protecting her family’s privacy.
In that interview, she said strangers repeatedly added her parents as friends on WeChat. Even after being deleted, they kept sending new friend requests. Some of them even told her parents about her latest updates on set, including when she was sick, which worried her family. Those were exactly the things she did not want her parents to know. She said, “Being a public figure is my own matter. Please don’t bother my family.”
