Ajay Devgn plays a cop in Rudra
One would assume that luring Ajay Devgn to invest in a series, when he can wrap up four movies in the same period, was difficult. But producer Sameer Nair of Applause Entertainment — which has created Rudra: The Edge of Darkness, the Indian adaptation of popular British series Luther — busts the myth. “Ajay was the only one we approached. He was familiar with Luther’s universe. The character is dark, melancholic and has a smouldering vibe. No one can ace it like him. Ajay agreeing to do any show at all for a streaming platform was a big deal. A lot of credit for Rudra goes to Ajay. Everyone was called at 9 am on the first day of the shoot. He came at 8.30 am, and centred everyone’s energies to focus purely on the show,” says the creator.
