Rajkummar Rao To Begin Shoot For Ujjwal Nikam Biopic From THIS Month: Report
Last Updated: Ujjwal Nikam is one of India's most renowned public prosecutors, best known for handling several high-profile and sensitive cases Rajkummar Rao is currently an extremely busy actor in the industry. He has been shooting back-to-back. And now it is reported that he will soon commence filming on a high‑voltage courtroom drama inspired by the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks later this month, according to sources. Pinkvilla has quoted a source saying that the Ujjwal Nikam biopic will go on floors in the last quarter of 2025 with a start-to-finish schedule. 'The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer. Several names were considered for the film, but eventually, Avinash felt that no one fits the bill like Rajkummar Rao," revealed a source close to the development. 'It is a tribute to one of the greatest public prosecutors of India. Avinash Arun, Dinesh Vijan, and Rajkummar Rao are all excited to bring it to the spectacle. The film will retell few of the biggest courtroom battles on the big screen," the source added. Initially, there was buzz around Aamir Khan taking on the role. However, due to his work commitments, he opted out of the film. Sources close to the development told that Rao came on board after Aamir Khan's exit. While the film is inspired by real events and features a real-life figure at its centre, Maddock Films has clarified that it won't follow the traditional biopic format. Rather than covering Nikam's entire life or legal career, the film will focus on a specific chapter — the intense courtroom drama and legal fight for justice after the 2008 attacks. Instead, the upcoming project will spotlight his pivotal role in the high-profile trial following the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, rather than chronicling his entire life or career. Ujjwal Nikam is one of India's most renowned public prosecutors, best known for handling several high-profile and sensitive cases over the past few decades. His most notable work came during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack trial, where he led the prosecution against Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving terrorist. Nikam's sharp courtroom strategies and dedication to justice have earned him national recognition. Over the years, he has prosecuted major cases involving terrorism, gang violence, and crimes against women, making him a key figure in India's legal system. Rajkummar Rao movies Rajkummar Rao is currently seen in Maalik. Directed by Pulkit, the film is currently in post-production.

Maalik Box Office Collection Day 10: Rajkummar Rao's Film Nears Rs 25 Crore-Mark
Maalik faced stiff competition from films such as Superman and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan and the new release this week, Saiyaara. Maalik, the action drama starring Rajkummar Rao, has been struggling at the box office to gain traction since its release. This is due to the competition from films such as Superman and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan and the latest release this week, Saiyaara. As per the latest numbers, the film could not earn a crore on any day in its second week which started on July 18. The total collection stands at Rs 23.45 crore so far. According To Sacnilk, the second week began with a mere Rs. 65 lakh collection on Friday, which increased to Rs. 75 lakh on Saturday. On Sunday, the film grossed Rs. 85 lakh. With this, the net India collection for Maalik after 10 days stands at Rs. 23.45 crore and is expected to cross the 25-crore mark this week. Maalik also stars Manushi Chillar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Saurabh Sachdeva and Saurabh Shukla in key parts. Speaking about the underwhelming performance of the film, Manushi Chillar said, 'With a movie like this? No, not really. Because as an actor, your job is to deliver the best, to be the character in the best possible way. One has to realise that many, many things create a blockbuster, and it's not just the quality of the film. And honestly, it is timing. Also, Maalik is not a family-friendly film. Maalik is A-rated. That automatically cuts down the audience." Maalik tells the story of Deepak, a farmer's son who rises to prominence as a gangster in Allahabad (now Prayagraj) in the 1980s. The film follows his transformation from a humble man to a feared figure, motivated by ambition and personal grief, as well as his involvement in the sociopolitical scene of the period. Directed by Pulkit, the film marks his first theatrical release. Kumar Taurani produces the film under the Tips Films label alongside Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films.

Manushi Chhillar Reacts To Maalik's Underwhelming Box Office: 'Film Isn't Family-Friendly'
Manushi Chhillar says she'd love Maalik to be a blockbuster, but admits box office success depends on many uncontrollable factors beyond quality. Former Miss World and actor Manushi Chhillar has been wooing the audience with her acting career, and most recently, she was seen in Maalik co-starring Rajkummar Rao. But the recently released gangster drama has had rather underwhelming box office results, and Manushi is quite aware of it and doesn't shy away from accepting it. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Manushi opened up about the underwhelming box office performance of the film and shared how it doesn't bother her. When asked if the underwhelming box office ever impacts her, she said, 'With a movie like this? No, not really. Because as an actor, your job is to deliver the best, to be the character in the best possible way. One has to realise that many, many things create a blockbuster, and it's not just the quality of the film. And honestly, it is timing. Also, Maalik is not a family-friendly film. Maalik is A-rated. That automatically cuts down the audience." Manushi further continued and shared, for job satisfaction, 'You would love your film to be a blockbuster, but I would say that every film might not open to those numbers due to many, many reasons, which you don't have any control over." 'But I think I still feel very content as an actor because I know that I've done my job, and I've done it in the best possible manner," she explained. Further, while talking about how people are praising her performance in the film, she said, 'I can't tell you the number of people who have been reaching out to me after watching Maalik. And these are general people, not just loving Shalini, but loving the film. This is happening to me for the very first time. And when you know that people who watched the film have liked your character, it's a very big win."
