Besides Rajkumar Rao and Manushi Chillar, the film also stars Saurabh Sachdeva in a prominent role. '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," the actor stated in an official statement released by the makers. He further added, '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 have created."
Set in 1980s Allahabad, Maalik explores a world ruled by guns, greed, and loyalty. Starring Rajkumar Rao in the lead role, this gangster drama is expected to offer a gripping storyline that highlights a man's rise to power in the underworld. The film follows the relentless rise of Rajkumar Rao's character as he kills and intimidates his way to the top. The film is based on social issues and is expected to be a high-octane action film. Besides the lead actors, the film also features a versatile lineup of cast members, including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire and Saurabh Sachdeva.
Previously, during an interview with Hindustan Times, Rajkumar Rao was seen opening up about his role in the film and said, 'As an actor, that's what I want—to play different people, explore different genres, and present myself in a new light." He further added, 'The external is easy; you can grow your hair and beard. But to reach the soul of the character is the real work."
