Actor's insight
For me, action is not just action: Rao
In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Rao recently spoke about his decision to take up Maalik. He said, "Maalik is certainly one of the few things that I wanted to do, and I was waiting for the right script." "It's not like action films weren't offered to me before, but the story wasn't there. For me, action is not just action—there has to be a story, and action should be a part of it."
