About Maalik

Rajkummar Rao plays a raw, intense, and unforgettable character in Maalik. Also starring Manushi Chhillar in a lead role, along with Saurabh Shukla and Saurabh Sachdeva in pivotal parts, Maalik is set against the gritty backdrop of 1980s Allahabad. It’s a hard-hitting tale of ambition, power, and survival that explores the price of rising in a world ruled by guns, greed, and loyalty.

Manushi Chhillar earlier opened up about playing Shalini in the movie. She said,

“Maalik is really special to me. It’s my first collaboration with such a talented team — Rajkummar and director Pulkit — and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I got to portray a character I’ve never explored before, and the film allowed me to step into a world that’s gritty, raw, and intense. It’s been such a thrilling journey, and I truly hope the audience connects with it.”

Maalik is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Films banner, along with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films. The film was released in cinemas on July 11, 2025.
