Rajkumar Rao was quoted as saying, “This is the first time I’m doing such a hard-hitting role. It really pushed me as an actor and let me explore a darker, more intense side. Playing a layered, ruthless gangster was both thrilling and challenging, and that’s what made it so exciting. I can’t wait for the audience to experience the gritty, gripping world we’ve created.” The Hollywood movie ‘Superman’ and the Hindi movie ‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’ are also releasing on 10th July. ‘Maalik’ is expected to get a good opening at the box office, and the trailer has also created a buzz.
