Mumbai, July 7 (IANS) Actress Esha Deol Takhtani will make her digital debut in the Ajay Devgn-starrer series "Rudra: The Edge Of Darkness". The series reimagines the globally successful British series "Luther".
"I look forward to working with Ajay Devgn after a long time. He has been a fantastic co-star to me in many films. As an actor, I believe in working on projects that would let me explore something new and engage me as a viewer as well. This series is a fresh take on the quintessential cop drama with a grey overtone, something which has not been explored in the Indian context before. With the resounding success of the OTT space, I am charged up for my digital debut with this one," Esha told IANS.
The actress was last seen in the 2019 short film "Cakewalk". She has earlier worked with Ajay in films such as "Main Aisa Hi Hoon", "LOC Kargil" and "Yuva".
"With Esha Deol Takhtani joining the star cast of 'Rudra: The Edge of Darkness', we are certain that her presence will take the series a notch higher and add more spark to the story. Building on the long-standing relationship with Disney+ Hotstar VIP, we are looking forward to the creation of this remarkable series," said Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, producers of the Hotstar Specials series in association with BBC Studios India.
At 73, Shekhar Kapur is all set to return as the director of a new project. The filmmaker will reunite with "Elizabeth" writer Michael Hirst for a new series titled "Ibis Trilogy", based on novelist Amitav Ghosh's historical fiction trilogy of the same name.
"I work with new directors because big directors don't take me (in their films). That is the truth,a claimed the Bollywood superstar, while interacting with the media at the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Good Newwz".
Kapil Sharma has invited Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh and Kiara Advani to promote their forthcoming feature ‘Good Newwz’ on the ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’—but with a special request.
Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya has replaced composer Anu Malik as judge on "Indian Idol 11" after the latter withdrew his name from the show in the face of MeToo allegations against him.
