Mumbai: Bollywood star Ajay Devgn is poised to make his digital debut with the crime drama web series “Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness”. The actor will set up a dirty cop avatar that re-introduces the iconic British series “Luther” to the Indian audience.
“My effort has always been to tell unique stories and work with great talent. The idea is to increase the streak of entertainment in India. The digital world excites me, ”said Devgn.
The actor “Singham” talked about a policeman and added: ‘Playing a policeman on screen is not new to me, but this time the character is more intense, complex and dark. What attracted me most to his persona is that he is possibly the grayest character you have come across lately. ”
The Hotstar Specials series, produced by Applause Entertainment in collaboration with BBC Studios India, will soon go into production and shoot a cross-iconic setting in Mumbai. The series will appear later this year on Disney + Hotstar VIP and Disney + Hotstar Premium.
“The scale on which Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness is created is enormous and is a testament to our passion for creating compelling, disruptive content,” said Sunil Rayan, President and CEO, Disney + Hotstar.
Sameer Nair, CEO of Applause Entertainment, added: ” Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness’ is one of our biggest shows to date and we are very excited to have Ajay Devgn star. He really has the fiery intensity and persona needed to portray this iconic character. ”
