Manushi Chhillar reveals what went into making ‘Naamumkin’ from ‘Maalik’

Rajkummar Rao will be seen romancing former Miss World Manushi Chillar for the first time in the highly-anticipated drama, “Maalik”. While movie buffs have already been treated with the primary track from the drama “Naamumkin”, now Manushi has dropped a BTS video on her Instagram handle, revealing what all went behind making the romantic song.

The clip opened with the team checking out the location, after which Rajkummar and Manushi filmed a couple of shots for the melodious track. We could also see the choreographers showing the steps to these two before they performed it on screen.

As the video moved forward, the “Stree” actor got the final touches to his makeup and hair, with Manushi also reapplying her lipstick. The director was also seen explaining something to Rajkummar and Manushi in between the shots. The leads had some fun behind the screen, like Rajkummar dancing funnily just before the shot and Manushi winking at the camera white getting her makeup fixed.

“Naamumkin” successfully captures the softer side of a ruthless gangster (Rajkummar) as he falls in love. Composer duo Sachin-Jigar has provided the tunes for the track, whereas the lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Varun Jain and Shreya Ghoshal have lent their powerful voices to “Naamumkin”.

Helmed by Pulkit, “Maalik” will also have Prosenjit Chatterjee, Medha Shankr, Huma Qureshi, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Swanand Kirkire in pivotal roles, along with others. Backed by Kumar Taurani under the banner of Tips Films, along with Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films, “Maalik” is slated for a theatrical release on 11th July this year.

Last week, Rajkummar and Tips Films took to Instagram, where they shared a poster featuring Manushi as a simpleton standing alongside the National Award-winning actor. Manushi is seen dressed in a soft pink traditional outfit smiling brightly at Rajkummar as the two are gazing into each other’s eyes.

The actioner, which was earlier scheduled to hit theatres on June 20, will now be released on July 11. In the film, which is currently in post-production, the actor will be seen playing a ruthless gangster. Manushi was last seen on screen in 2024 film “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

Rajkummar’s latest release is ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’. The film, which is directed by Karan Sharma, also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Dhanashree Verma, Sanjay Mishra, and Raghubir Yadav.

The film is about Ranjan, a starry-eyed romantic from Banaras who finally lands a government job and is ready to marry his childhood sweetheart, Titli. In all the rush towards his happily-ever-after, Ranjan forgets a sacred vow and fate refuses to let it slide.
