What Rajkummar said about Maalik

Maalik marks Rajkummar's first foray into the mass action genre, a trend which has been seen with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Manoj Bajpayee in the last few years. In an interview with HT, the actor had said, "It is exciting because I get to do something very different from anything I have done to date. As an actor, that's what I want to do—play different people, explore different genres, and present myself in a different way to the audience. Maalik has given me that opportunity in a very big way."

Directed by Pulkit, the film is produced by Kumar Taurani under the Tips Films banner in collaboration with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films.
