Actor Rajkummar Rao’s action-thriller film Maalik is set to hit the theatres on June 20, 2025.
Helmed by Pulkit of Bhakshak fame, the project is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Films banner and Jay Shewakramani’s Northern Lights Films.
Taking to the official Instagram handle, Tips Films shared the announcement with the caption, “Poore pradesh aur desh pe RAJ karne aa rahe hain MAALIK! @rajkummar_rao in and as #Maalik In cinemas, on 20th June, 2025.”
The film stars Rajkummar Rao as Maalik, transforming into a ruthless gangster with a striking new intensity.
Directed by Pulkit, known for his work in the thriller and drama genre, Maalik is currently in post-production.
In the poster, Rajkummar can be seen in a rowdy avatar with a gun in his hand. After his last character, Vicky in Stree 2, this is a versatile change in a completely different genre.
The poster read, “Paeda nahi huye toh kya, ban toh sakte hai (What if we aren’t born that way but we can become).”
