(Also read: When Rajkummar Rao fired his cook for disrespecting wife Patralekha: 'Aap apna bag pack kijiye') On Tuesday, the producers of the film, Tips, dropped the teaser of the much-awaited Maalik on their social media handles. The film has been set in 1988's Allahabad, and opens with Rajkummar's character waking up with a rifle in his hand. Next, we see him ruthlessly kill a man with a spade as blood splatters all over his body. He then sets him ablaze with fire crackers and says, 'Maalik paida nahi hue to kya, ban to sakte hai (It doesn't matter if we weren't born a master, we can become one'). The teaser goes on to show Rajkummar's journey into turning into a mafia lord in the unforgiving underworld. Fans reacted to Maalik's gripping action sequences and Rajkummar's strong screen presence. One fan wrote, "Rajkumar ab Masss Cinema mai Raaj karega....(Rajkummar will rule the mass cinema now). Another fan commented, 'Raj bhai entered in a gangster role now giving us major goosebumps already terrific teaser tha yeh (Rajkummar in a gangster role is giving major goosebumps. It is a terrific teaser)'. Many fans praised Rajkummar for branching out from his critically-acclaimed films to do an out-and-out masala actioner in Maalik. One fan wrote, 'Bhai ye to all-rounder nikla (He turned out to be an all-rounder)'. Another fan commented, "So happy to see #RajkummarRao exploring another genre! #MAALIK looks intense and wild Expecting other doors to open for him with this one (sic)". Produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakraman, the film is set to be a gritty tale of power, loyalty, betrayal, and one man's rise to rule it all. Pulkit, who is known for TV series like Bhakshak and Bose Dead/Alive, will direct the film, which will be released on July 11.

Bhumi Pednekar shares how she ‘gets high' on life while shooting on set
Actress Bhumi Pednekar recently offered a glimpse into what keeps her spirits soaring on set. In a candid moment, she shared how she often 'gets high' on life while working. Taking to Instagram, Bhumi shared photos of herself from the sets, writing, 'Bun maska and chai gets me high.' In the images, the Bhakshak actress is seen enjoying tea with bun maska. In the video, Pednekar could be heard saying, 'Bread, butter, and chai ultimate.' Bhumi shared a series of photos from the sets, capturing the cozy mood of a rainy-day shoot. Along with her post, she used hashtags like #monsoons, #onset, #filming, #BhumiPednekar, and #chai — perfectly summing up her love for simple pleasures during a busy filming schedule. Professionally, the 'Badhaai Do' actress was most recently seen in the series 'The Royals,' which also starred Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the romantic comedy centered on a once-wealthy royal family in present-day India, facing financial hardships. Their fate begins to change when the family's heir partners with a hospitality entrepreneur to transform their ancestral palace into a high-end resort. In the show, Bhumi Pednekar played Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, the CEO of Work Potato and the love interest of Fizzy. The series premiered on Netflix on May 9, 2025, and was renewed for a second season on May 28. Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, 'Rom-coms have a timeless charm; they make us laugh, believe in love, and embrace the beautiful chaos that comes with it. With The Royals, we've created a modern love story that has an equally modern-day conflict. While Bridgerton and Emily in Paris showed the world how compelling romantic sagas can be, The Royals brings that sizzle and swoon to a world that's unapologetically Indian. Creators Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy said, 'With The Royals, we've mounted a romance that whips together the old-world charm of palaces and Indian royalty with glass-walled boardrooms and modern reality—where love is anything but easy.' The creators shared that the series is about two people from completely different worlds, each fighting their own battles, constantly at odds, yet irresistibly drawn to each other in ways they never expected. Bhumi is next gearing up for the release of the psychological thriller 'Daldal.' In an Instagram post, the actress had opened up about her character in the upcoming web series. Reflecting on what she described as a year-long journey, she shared her excitement and nervousness about portraying a role she considers one of the most complex and layered of her career.
