It’s finally here—a dark, ravaging side of Rajkummar Rao that fans have long craved. From his edgy debut in Love Sex aur Dhokha to his intense performance in Trapped (2016) and the genre-defining hit Stree that kickstarted a whole franchise, Rao has always kept us guessing.
He’s charmed us as the goofy lover, stunned us in psychological thrillers, and even broke barriers with his poignant portrayal in Badhaai Do. And now, in his latest release, Bhool Chuk Maaf, he dives deep into the underworld of raw rage and dark emotion.
Maalik, one of his most anticipated roles, had fans on edge for months—and now that it’s here, Rao’s transformation is nothing short of riveting.
