Returning to the spotlight after a long hiatus, actor Esha Deol Takhtani is all set to make a grand entry into the digital space with the upcoming crime-drama series Rudra – The Edge of Darkness, launching soon only on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. Having garnered admiration in both critically acclaimed and commercially successful movies, the sought-after actress will be reuniting with her fellow Bollywood megastar Ajay Devgn after more than a decade.
Rudra - The Edge of Darkness is an engaging dark, gritty crime-drama series that brings together a unique storytelling format and powerful characters, making it a must-watch for fans of thrillers and crime dramas.
Esha said, “I am really happy to collaborate with Applause and BBC Studios for Rudra - The Edge of Darkness on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. 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 and I am looking forward to working with Ajay Devgn after a long time who has been a fantastic co star to me in many films .”
The Edge of Darkness is produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India and coming soon on Disney + Hotstar VIP.
Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment said, “With Esha Deol 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.
