Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Saurabh Shukla, Saurabh Sachdeva, Swanand Kirkire, director Pulkit and producers Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani attended the launch of the trailer Maalik at a multiplex in Mumbai. One of the highlights of the events was the camaraderie shared by Rajkummar Rao and Prosenjit Chatterjee.
Rajkummar Rao translates Bengali FLAWLESSLY at Maalik trailer launch; Prosenjit Chatterjee raises excitement for Sourav Ganguly biopic: “Ganguly and Rajkummar will be a great…”
A journalist asked them about their experience of working with each other and the ‘bong connection’. Rajkummar smiled and replied, “Bong connection toh aapko pata hi hai – Patralekhaa is the Bong connection (smiles).”
The journalist asked whether Rajkummar Rao and Prosenjit Chatterjee bonded over food. Rajkummar quipped, “Not on this set. The characters we are playing, woh ek saath baith ke khaana khaane waale log hai nahin!”
On a serious note, he said, “But it’s always fun working with Bumba Da. I have heard a lot of stories from those who have worked with him. They only have good things to say about him. Of course, we all know that he is phenomenally talented but he’s also a very beautiful soul. That’s what we also look for in actors when we work with them ki kya aap acche insaan bhi ho? That matters a lot. I am glad he gave his nod to this film as not many people have seen him play a part like this. Hence, I am also excited for people to see him in this avatar. Bumba Da has added a nice tadka to this character and that’s beautiful.”
Another memorable moment was when a journalist asked Prosenjit Chatterjee in Bengali about his character and his views on Rajkummar Rao playing Sourav Ganguly in an upcoming biopic. Prosenjit requested the reporter to ask in English. But Rajkummar perfectly translated the question in Hindi for everyone, leading to applause.
Prosenjit Chatterjee said, “I don’t want to speak much but I can assure you that every character has a lot of twists and contributes in some way.”
While answering the second question, he stated, “10 days back, Sourav Ganguly and I were in an event. We were the chief guests. I was very happy. I hugged him and told him that I was going to meet Rajkummar. I feel Ganguly and Rajkummar will be a great combo! Moreover, it’s also directed by one of my favourite directors, Vikramaditya Motwane.”
Maalik releases in cinemas on July 11.
