Rajkummar Rao has been on a roll this year with stellar performances that keep both audiences and critics spellbound. After the runaway success of “Stree 2,” which earned more than ₹600 crore worldwide, Rao is all geared up for another challenge with his upcoming movie “Maalik.” On his 40th birthday, Rao revealed the title and poster of this action-packed thriller and gave hints toward another blockbuster at the box office. Here are three strong reasons why “Maalik” might just be the next big hit at the box office.
Rajkummar Rao as a Gangster
One of the most thrilling things about “Maalik” is Rao’s transformation into a gangster. As much as he has done some intense roles, like that of Shamshad Alam in “Gangs of Wasseypur” and that of a terrorist in “Omerta”, this time it is going to be his first time as a gangster in a full-fledged desi masala movie. This poster shows Rao as raw and fierce, much like Rocky Bhai in the film “KGF.” His look is already creating ripples among his fans, who are waiting with bated breath to see Rao in this power-packed role. The Powerful Premise Although plot details of “Maalik” remain guarded for now, the tagline of the poster-“Paida Nahi Huye To Kya? Ban To Sakte Hain! has caught everyone’s attention. This line is similar in grit and ambition to the famous lines of “KGF” and promises “Maalik” to be a high-octane action thriller with an appealing storyline.
The excitement is there, and they hope that it lives up to the expectations set by the poster.
