On his debut web show being a revisionof the Idris Elba-starrer, Ajay wantsit to bebigger than the original. Why should it be at par? This show is about a different kind of action; there is a lot of drama and thrill. The action is in the script. The twists and turns make this show very interesting. I hope it is better than the original.

Rudra also stars actor Esha Deol. Rudra was something that I believe was godsend. It fell into my lap at the right time. After having two babies, there was an urge to come back and be in front of the camera. Rudra was a perfect set up with some amazing cast members and a brilliant story, she said.

I have always looked up to and admired Ajays work. With this show too, it was a thrilling ride to once again share the screen with my friend, she added.

Asked whether the pandemic changed A-listers take towards OTT platforms, Ajay Devgn said that it is more a question of the correctshow rather than the platform. No, its not the pandemic. We were always open to OTT shows. This also started before the pandemic in 2018. Everyones open to OTT. Its just that you wait for the right subject. When you are offered that, everyones ready to do it.

Rudra: The Edge of Darkness will stream on Disney Plus Hotstar from March 4.
