Work on the series will start soon and it will be shot at the iconic locations in Mumbai. The series is being produced by Apple Entertainment and BBC Studios.

Rudra – The Age of Darkness is a captivating story and I am eagerly looking forward to the beginning of this journey. It is not new to me to play the role of a cop on the screen, but this time the character is darker, tougher and darker. I was most impressed by the personality of this character. Probably this is the most gray character in the current era.

Let me tell you, on Monday, Ajay shared a teaser via social media, in which he said that he is going to make a big announcement tomorrow (Tuesday).
