Maalik Teaser: Rajkummar Rao transforms into a fierce and violent gangster in Maalik, marking a dramatic shift from his role in Bhool Chuk Maaf. Directed by Pulkit, the upcoming action drama promises to elevate Rao’s career to new heights. The producers shared the trailer on social media, and fans have already dubbed it a “blockbuster.” Rao commands the screen with a sly, bloody, and lethal presence that makes it impossible to look away.

Ranbir’s Animal Influence?

While fans express their excitement about the film, many draw comparisons between Maalik and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. When Animal hit theaters, its portrayal of violence on the big screen instantly gripped audiences. With brutal, high-impact fight scenes, it pushed the boundaries of violence in Indian cinema. Now, Maalik channels that same intense energy. The teaser hints at a gritty, unflinching tone that suggests Rajkummar Rao’s film could follow in Animal‘s footsteps.

Take a look at the teaser:

Rao has adopted a vicious gangster character, and his ruthless metamorphosis is well worth the investment. From the teaser’s opening sequences to the heavy dialogue, Maalik will surely provide a lot of action. Therefore, there is no doubt that Rajkummar Rao is just as vicious as Ranbir Kapoor’s character Rannvijay in the Pulkit film.

Additionally, Animal and Maalik both push their protagonists toward aggressive and controlling behavior. These films go beyond simple action dramas, weaving in deeper psychological layers. Much like Animal, Maalik aims to explore the inner turmoil of men. Since Animal redefined the Indian film landscape, audiences expect Maalik to be just as thrilling and intense.

In the Maalik teaser, Rajkummar Rao steps into a never-before-seen avatar. The story follows a gangster who rises through the criminal underworld and asserts his dominance in Allahabad. His dramatic transformation has stunned netizens, and his rugged, bearded look adds authenticity to the bold role. Backed by Jay Shewakramani and Kumar Taurani, the film is set to release on July 11, 2025. Manushi Chhillar and Prosenjit Chatterjee join Rajkummar as co-stars.
