Mumbai, April 20, 2021: Bollywood superstar is all set to foray into the digital world. After teasing fans with a short video yesterday, the actor on Tuesday announced his OTT debut series, titled "Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness" for the OTT giant Disney Plus Hotstar. The crime drama thriller is said to the official Hindi adaptation of the British TV series, Luther which starred Idris Elba in the lead roles.

It will be a Hotstar special series that will feature Ajay Devgn in an intense and gritty new cop avatar who is obsessed with his job of catching criminals. The series will be produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India. It will soon go on floors and will be shot across iconic locales of Mumbai.



"My attempt has always been to tell unique stories and work with good talent. The idea is to raise the bar of entertainment in India. The digital world excites me, and I am looking forward to working with Applause and BBC to bring this series to life on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. Rudra - The Edge of Darkness is a compelling and highly intriguing story and I can't wait to begin this new journey! Playing a cop on screen is not new to me, but this time the character is more intense, complex, and dark. What drew me most to his persona is that he is possibly the greyest character you may come across in recent times", Ajay said in a statement.

Ajay took to social media and announced the series as he shared the first look motion poster of Rudra. "Happy to announce the crime thriller of the year Hotstar Specials 'Rudra - The Edge Of Darkness'. This one's going to be 'killer' @DisneyplusHSVIP", the actor wrote.
