Manushi Chhilar recap of 2025

Manushi Chhillar, the former Miss World, appears ready to start what is expected to be a pivotal year in her acting career as she celebrates her birthday today.

2025 looks to be a significant year in her career as a Bollywood performer and pageant queen, with two big movie releases planned. Manushi is now making daring decisions that demonstrate her desire to defy expectations and showcase her versatility on screen, following her debut in Samrat Prithviraj.

In the gritty gangster drama Maalik, her first release of the year, she co-stars with Rajkummar Rao, a novel and captivating duo that has already aroused public interest. The Pulkit-directed movie, which has the support of producers Jay Shewakramani and Kumar Taurani, is scheduled to open in theatres on June 20.

Insiders claim that Manushi's appearance in Maalik will be a radical change from her past appearances, promising a makeover of her image that fans have never seen before. According to reports, the production team has taken strict precautions to conceal the appearance of her character, which has increased interest in the project.

However, Maalik is only the first step. In addition, Manushi will co-star with John Abraham in the geopolitical thriller Tehran, which is based on actual events. Manushi takes on a high-octane, action-packed role in this Dinesh Vijan-produced movie under Maddock Films.

The role contrasts sharply with her usual poised, glamorous persona, as evidenced by her cropped, wavy hairstyle and scenes in which she handles weapons. Her dedication to examining complex and difficult characters is further demonstrated by her striking metamorphosis in Tehran.

Both parts mark a sea change in Manushi's cinematic career. She seems committed to redefining herself beyond the title of beauty queen by embracing intricate storylines and physically taxing roles. Manushi is poised to make an impression on viewers with Maalik and Tehran, solidifying her position as a rising star in the rapidly changing Hindi film industry.
