Rajkummar Rao is riding a wave of cinematic momentum in 2025, juggling multiple projects that showcase his versatility. The actor is currently immersed in promoting his upcoming romantic drama Bhool Chuk Maaf alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, while also generating excitement for his gritty gangster film Maalik.

In a recent update, Rao announced that Maalik, initially slated for June 20, will now hit theaters on July 11. This action-thriller marks Rao’s first foray into playing a ruthless gangster, promising a high-octane performance.

Rao shared the news on Instagram, unveiling a striking poster that captures his intense transformation. Dressed in a sharp white outfit, he stands atop a police jeep, gripping a gun with a steely gaze.

His caption read, “Raub, Rutba, aur RAJ hoga Maalik ka, 11 July se. Aa rahe hain #Maalik, sirf cinemagharon mein.” The poster, first revealed on Rao’s 40th birthday, carried the tagline, “Maalik. Paida nahi ho sakta, ban toh sakta hai,” hinting at a character forged by ambition and grit. Directed by a fresh talent and backed by a reputed production house, Maalik is poised to redefine Rao’s onscreen persona.

Meanwhile, Bhool Chuk Maaf is creating its own buzz, particularly with the release of its latest track, Chor Bazari Phir Se. The song, a vibrant blend of nostalgic charm and modern flair, has taken the internet by storm. Composed by Pritam and Tanishk Bagchi, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil, it features powerhouse vocals from Sunidhi Chauhan, Neeraj Shridhar, Zahrah S Khan, and Bagchi himself. The track’s infectious energy and soulful undertones make it a celebration of free-spirited romance, amplified by a visually captivating music video that highlights the chemistry between Rao’s Ranjan Tiwari and Gabbi’s Titli Mishra.

Directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Bhool Chuk Maaf promises a heartfelt narrative woven with humor and emotion. Set for a global theatrical release on May 9, 2025, the film is already generating anticipation for its fresh pairing and evocative soundtrack. Industry trends suggest a strong appetite for such genre-blending stories, with romantic dramas drawing diverse audiences in recent months.

Rao’s ability to pivot from a gangster’s intensity to a romantic lead underscores his range, cementing his status as one of India’s most dynamic actors. As Maalik and Bhool Chuk Maaf gear up for release, fans are eager to see how Rao’s performances will light up the big screen.

In a dazzling display of skill and charisma, Rohit Sharma powered Mumbai Indians to a commanding victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, April 24, 2025, in the IPL 2025. The star batter’s explosive 70 off 46 balls steered his team to chase the target in just 15.4 overs, securing their fourth consecutive win. This triumph not only boosted Mumbai Indians’ net run rate but also catapulted them to third place on the points table, solidifying their playoff prospects.

The celebration that followed was nothing short of electric. Mumbai Indians shared a vibrant Instagram video capturing Rohit grooving to the rhythmic beats of dhols and nagadas alongside Bollywood icon Jackie Shroff, fondly known for his love for plants. Captioned “Jaggu Dada is all of us when RO starts hitting them out of the park!” the clip showed Rohit posing with his bat while Jackie danced around him, clutching a flowerpot. Fans in the background joined the revelry, adding to the festive mood.

Rohit soon jumped into the dance, twirling his bat to the music before playfully borrowing Jackie’s flowerpot to sway with the crowd. The infectious energy of the duo lit up social media, with netizens showering love on the unexpected collaboration. “Mumbai cha Raja Ro-Hitman Sharma!” gushed one user, while another declared, “Jaggu Dada representing every MI fan!” Heart emojis flooded the comments, with fans calling Rohit “Rohit Swagger Sharma” and praising his “Hitman ke dance” moves.

The video’s charm had fans hooked, with one quipping, “Aise videos ke liye hi internet recharge karta hoon!” Another dubbed Jackie “Rohit paglu,” comparing his enthusiasm to that of a die-hard fan. Jackie’s signature plant obsession didn’t go unnoticed either, with comments like “Personal oxygen bhi hai” and “Jhaad lagane ka bidhu,” accompanied by tree emojis, celebrating his eco-friendly persona.

From a shaky start with just one win in their first five matches, Mumbai Indians have roared back with four straight victories, thanks to Rohit’s leadership and flair.

As the team eyes a playoff berth, this heartwarming moment of Rohit and Jackie dancing together has given fans yet another reason to cheer.
