In Maalik, Rajkummar Rao plays a menacing don with much more aggression on-screen than what he has essayed in most of his performances in the past.

Many of the characters that Rao has portrayed in his Bollywood career have had critically challenging roles, and Maalik aims to build on this reputation. The hardcore script demand, coupled with Rao’s edgy acting skills, is likely to make the film a remarkable experience.

As much as people are used to Rao’s characters, whereby he bends the barriers to take on unique characters, the transformation to a dangerous gangster will definitely come as a plus for this actor and unveil another facet of his acting skills. This role is not only beneficial for the company, but it also helps him diversify his portfolio and push forward the boundaries in his career.

Currently, Maalik is under the direction of Pulkit, the person who has recently worked on Bhakshak. Yuvraj Pulkit’s direction is highly charged and focused, and the same passion is expected to light up Maalik.

Currently, the shooting of the film is in progress, and grand schedules are being planned to shoot in different places across India. The filmmakers are interested in rendering the visual representation of the events depicted in the narrative as brutal and dramatic as possible.

A Powerful Collaboration

Maalik is brought to you by Kumar Taurani of Tips Films and Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films, who have been in the business for quite some time now with the ability to fund quality, big materialistic movies. The Maalik duo wants to offer a different kind of movie experience that mixes action and drama that really touches the viewers.

As the film progresses into its making, the audience that appreciates Rajkummar Rao’s work waits for it to be out, looking forward to one of the most captivating action thriller films of 2025.
