Mumbai, June 10

Actress Manushi Chhillar will be starring opposite Rajkummar Rao in the upcoming action drama “Maalik”.

Rajkummar and Tips Films took to Instagram, where they shared a poster featuring Manushi as a simpleton standing alongside the National Award-winning actor.

Manushi is seen dressed in a soft pink traditional outfit smiling brightly at Rajkummar as the two are gazing into each other’s eyes.

The caption read: “Jinke bina chalti nahi #Maalik ki dhadkan, unse hogi aaj mulaqaat #Naamumkin Song Out Today. #Maalik se milne ajana 11 July ko sirf cinema gharon mein!”

The actioner, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on June 20, will now be released on July 11. In the film, which is currently in post-production, the actor will be seen playing a ruthless gangster.

Directed by Pulkit, "Maalik" is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Films banner and Jay Shewakramani's Northern Lights Films. The film will be released in theatres on 11th July. The film was initially announced on Rajkummar Rao’s 40th birthday.

Manushi was last seen on screen in 2024 film “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead roles alongside Manushi Chhillar, Alaya F and Ronit Roy. In the film, two former soldiers race against time to save India from an imminent attack by a vengeful scientist. It was declared a box-office bomb.

Rajkummar’s latest release is ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’. The film, which is directed by Karan Sharma, also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Dhanashree Verma, Sanjay Mishra, and Raghubir Yadav.

The film is about Ranjan, a starry-eyed romantic from Banaras who finally lands a government job and is ready to marry his childhood sweetheart, Titli. In all the rush towards his happily-ever-after, Ranjan forgets a sacred vow and fate refuses to let it slide.

Excited to see Manushi in a fresh pairing with Rajkummar! She has such expressive eyes - perfect for romantic scenes. Hope this film does better than her last outing. 🤞 The poster looks sweet with that traditional pink outfit.

Rajkummar Rao as a gangster? That's something new! He usually plays such subtle characters. Hope the director doesn't waste his talent in just another masala flick. The delay in release makes me wonder if they're reworking something.

Manushi needs to choose better scripts after Bade Miyan Chote Miyan flopped. She's too talented to be wasted in flowerpot roles. That said, pairing her with Rajkummar is interesting - he brings out the best in his co-stars. Fingers crossed!

July 11 release means they're avoiding the clash with big Eid films. Smart move! The poster gives me old-school Bollywood romance vibes. Hope the music is good too - that Naamumkin song title sounds promising.

Why does every gangster film need a romantic track? Can't we have a proper crime drama for once? Rajkummar was brilliant in Newton and Shahid - hope this isn't just commercial compromise. Still, will watch for his performance!

Tips Films used to make such memorable music in 90s. Hope they recreate that magic here! The pairing is unconventional but interesting. Manushi looks beautiful in traditional wear - reminds me of Madhuri in Hum Aapke Hain Koun era.
