Hold onto your popcorn, because Rajkummar Rao is about to flip the script in Maalik, playing a ruthless gangster in what looks to be his grittiest, most intense role yet. The motion poster just dropped—and it’s all brooding stares, heavy shadows, and that “don’t-mess-with-me” vibe. If you’ve ever wanted to see Rao ditch the boy-next-door charm for full-blown menace, your wish is coming true. And guess what? The teaser is out today at 2 PM, just in time to ruin your lunch with chills.
Directed by Pulkit and produced by Kumar Taurani (Tips Films) and Jay Shewakramani (Northern Lights Films), Maalik is already making noise ahead of its July 11, 2025 release. It promises to be more than just bullets and bravado—this is a deep dive into the dark corridors of power, ambition, and moral decay. Rao, never one to shy away from bold choices, seems ready to paint outside the lines again—and this time, with blood red.
Over the years, Rajkummar has worn many hats—from horror-comedy heartthrob in Stree, to conflicted lovers, quirky oddballs, and everything in between. But Maalik feels different. It’s not just a role switch; it’s a full transformation. His bloodshot eyes and steely expressions suggest a man who’s lost too much and is ready to take even more. If this film sticks the landing, it could be a genre-defining moment for both the actor and Hindi gangster dramas.
With established producers backing the film and a strong cinematic trend favoring dark, socially charged crime sagas, Maalik looks poised to be both a commercial crowd-puller and a critics’ conversation starter. But one thing’s for sure: we’ve never seen Rajkummar Rao like this before. So, block July 11, warm up those group chats, and prepare to meet your new favorite antihero.
