On the occasion of his birthday today makers of Rajkumar Rao’s upcoming film have unveiled the title and first look, as teased yesterday through social media.
Titled as ‘Maalik’, the film possibly follows the story of a man who doesn’t come from a criminal or gangster background but has now become one. In the first look poster, Rajkumar Rao is seen in a raw, ferocious avatar holding a machine gun and standing atop a combat vehicle. There’s also a long line of trucks in the background. Rao’s character is possibly aiming to loot these trucks by creating a barrier in their path.
‘Maalik’ is an action-thriller film directed by Pulkit, known for helming films like ‘Dedh Bigha Zameen’, and ‘Bhakshak’. This is his second project with Rao after the ALT Balaji web series ‘Bose: Dead/Alive’.
‘Maalik’ announcement comes amidst the ongoing highly successful run of Rao’s ‘Stree 2’ in theatres. Before ‘Stree 2’, two more of his films released earlier this year namely, ‘Srikanth’ and ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mahi’ and both had a modest run at the box office.
Rajkumar Rao is known for fine acting skills and the versatile range he possesses as an actor. Whether it’s a serious role like that in ‘The White Tiger’, ‘Omerta’, ‘Trapped’ or ‘Newton’ or a comical character like he played ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, and ‘Stree’, or for that matter any other role, he does it with absolute finesse.
‘Maalik’ is produced by Kumar Taurani and Jaya Shewakramani under their banners Tips Film and Northern Lights Films. Currently shooting for the film is under progress and more updates on the same will be revealed soon. Stay tuned to binged.com!
Ab RAJ hoga #Maalik ka!
