"I am very excited to be a part of Applause Entertainment's Rudra – The Edge of Darkness. It is really rare to get something that pushes you out of your comfort zone and actually challenges you as an actor and Rudra just gave me that opportunity. I am extremely elated. Looking forward to an amazing experience on set with talented actors like Ajay Devgn, Esha Deol, Atul Kulkarni amongst others, and I am excited to collaborate with Applause Entertainment and BBC Studios for this one", Raashii said in a statement.

Apart from Raashii and Esha, the makers have also roped in Atul Kulkarni, Ashish Vidyarthi, And Ashwini Kalsekar to play important roles. It is the first time when Atul Kulkarni will share screen space with Ajay Devgn. Atul is a revered name in the industry and has entertained the audiences with his brilliant performances over the years.

Kulkarni said, "Digital content is dynamic and has altered the art of storytelling. Rudra – The Edge of Darkness is a gripping series that will surely disrupt the genre of cop dramas in India. With Rajesh Mapuskar helming the project, it will be exciting to work on this thriller. The series also comprises a stellar cast, and I can’t wait to begin filming this one. I am delighted to team up with Applause Entertainment again post the hit political drama City of Dreams".
