Maalik's heart throb! Rajkummar and Manushi ignite the screen in "Naamumkin"

The digital landscape was recently abuzz with news from Tips Films and Northern Lights Films, as they officially announced the pairing of Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chhillar for their upcoming action spectacle, Maalik. The anticipation surrounding the film has grown with the debut of its first musical offering, "Naamumkin."

Prior to this release, the initial glimpse of Rajkummar Rao in Maalik had already generated considerable interest. The teaser, launched last week, presented the actor in a compelling new persona, fueling curiosity among viewers. Now, the actor has personally unveiled "Naamumkin," a romantic composition featuring his co-star, Manushi Chhillar.

This evocative song delves into an unexpected facet of a formidable character, portraying the emergence of profound affection. The music, crafted by Sachin-Jigar, provides a rich sonic backdrop, while Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrics resonate with emotion. The combined vocal talents of Varun Jain and Shreya Ghoshal infuse the track with a captivating warmth, destined to leave a lasting impression.

The previously released teaser, showcasing Rajkummar Rao in an intense, never-before-seen portrayal of a gangster, was met with widespread approval from both critics and the public. Its striking visuals and compelling narrative, anchored by Rao's powerful performance, have already established Maalik as a film to watch as its release date approaches.

Notably, Rajkummar Rao himself broke the news of Manushi Chhillar's look from Maalik on his social media platform earlier today. His post, "Jinke bina chalti nahi #Maalik ki dhadkan, unse hogi aaj mulaqaat. #Naamumkin Song Out Today. #Maalik se milne ajana 11 July ko sirf cinema gharon mein!".

Under the direction of Pulkit, a filmmaker recognized for his impactful thrillers, and jointly produced by Kumar Taurani for Tips Films alongside Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films, Maalik is slated for a cinematic release on July 11, 2025.

While Rajkummar Rao enjoys recent successes with films like Stree 2 and Bhool Chuk Maaf, Manushi Chhillar continues her journey in the industry, poised for her next significant step.
