Anshumaan Pushkar does intense action scenes in gangster drama 'Maalik'

Mumbai, July 11 (UNI) Actor Anshumaan Pushkar is set to bring his most physically demanding role to life in the forthcoming gangster drama 'Maalik', where he will be seen performing adrenaline-charged action sequences that promise to leave audiences stunned.
Directed with a visceral edge, 'Maalik' plunges into the murky depths of organised crime. Anushmaan's character is central to the film's high-stake narrative. Known for his intense screen presence, Anshumaan has gone out of his comfort zone for this film and has done some heart-pounding action.
Speaking about his experience, Anshumaan shared, “This was the first time I did such intense action, and let me tell you, apart from a few small injuries here and there, I had a blast! Whether it was close fistfights, jumping off rooftops, escaping blasts, or high-speed car chases, I lived every moment of it.”
He elaborated, “I’ve grown up watching and being a huge fan of this kind of cinema, where every action sequence gives you an adrenaline rush and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Of course, all proper precautions and safety measures were in place, but doing action is always tricky — one small mistake can lead to disaster. Still, you can’t let go of the excitement it brings.”
Recalling a moment on set, Anshumaan remembered a comment from his co-star. “I remember one particularly intense action shoot day when Raj bhai came to me smiling and said, ‘Bachpan wali dhishoom-dhishoom fights ka aaj faayda mila hai’ (All that childhood dishoom dishoom play fighting finally paying off). And one more thing, my knowledge of handling guns has definitely improved,” he said.
