Rajkummar’s spouse, Patralekhaa, shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming film. In the post’s comments, she cheered, “What fantastic news!”, followed by fire emojis. Fans also showed their joy.

A user stated, “Rajkumaar rao in action,” while another called him “Unstoppable RKR.” Many others showcased their sentiments with red heart and fire emojis, with fans also wishing Rajkummar a happy birthday.

The film “Maalik” is overseen by director Pulkit, known for his work on the movie “Bhakshak,” starring Bhumi Pednekar, which released earlier this year. This production is a collaboration between Tips Films and Northern Lights Films, with Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani serving as producers.

Back in August, TopMob was the one to announce Rajkummar Rao’s upcoming project with director Pulkit. A reliable source shared that Rajkummar Rao has agreed to star in Pulkit’s next film, which will be produced by Jay Shewakramani. As of now, details about the storyline are being kept secret, but it’s expected that the movie will begin production in 2024 with an extensive shooting schedule. Rajkummar Rao is looking forward to this partnership and it represents a change for him from the comedic roles he has been playing.

It was also revealed that the beauty queen Manushi Chhillar, who once held the title of Miss World, has been chosen for the female lead role. According to reports, “The creators were seeking a fresh face for this project, and the combination of Rajkummar and Manushi promises something novel. The two will bring an intriguing chemistry to the film.” The production is set to take place in India and is scheduled to hit theaters in 2025.

In addition, TopMob later disclosed specifics about Rajkummar’s role in the movie. According to a source, the film is a full-fledged commercial spectacle starring Rajkummar Rao as a gangster. The production intends to shoot the movie extensively in Uttar Pradesh and partially in Mumbai, as the narrative and character are deeply embedded in UP. Rajkummar looks forward to delving into this role and will be engaging in readings and workshops with the team for preparation.

Here I am, absolutely thrilled and living every moment of it as Rajkummar Rao’s biggest fan! Right now, he’s reveling in the triumph of his latest horror-comedy masterpiece, Stree 2. Next up on the horizon for this talented actor is Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, a project I can hardly wait to see him shine in!
