Over
the
past
year,

has
disrupted
the
world
of
digital
entertainment
with
genre
defining
shows
like
Aarya
where
a
crime
story
was
given
a
female-gaze,
the
Criminal

franchise
that
revived
courtroom-drama,
an
animated
series
that
appeals
to
all
age-groups
with

of
Hanuman,
and
the
announcement
of
the

-
The
Edge
of
Darkness
marks
the
next
bold
move
by
Hotstar
Specials
in
raising
the
bar
of
quality
content
in
India.
Actor
Ajay
Devgn
said,
"My
attempt
has
always
been
to
tell
unique
stories
and
work
with
good
talent.
The
idea
is
to
raise
the
bar
of
entertainment
in
India.
The
digital
world
excites
me,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
Applause
and
BBC
to
bring
this
series
to
life
on
Disney+
Hotstar
VIP.
Rudra
-
The
Edge
of
Darkness
is
a
compelling
and
highly
intriguing
story
and
I
can't
wait
to
begin
this
new
journey!
Playing
a
cop
on
screen
is
not
new
to
me,
but
this
time
the
character
is
more
intense,
complex
and
dark.
What
drew
me
most
to
his
persona,
is
that
he
is
possibly
the
greyest
character
you
may
come
across
in
recent
times."
Sunil
Rayan,
President
&
Head,
Disney+
Hotstar
added,
"The
scale
at
which
Rudra
-
The
Edge
of
Darkness
is
being
created
is
enormous
and
is
a
testament
to
our
passion
for
creating
compelling,
disruptive
content.
This
kind
of
storytelling
has
never
before
been
attempted
in
India.
The
narrative
is
bold
and
genre-defining,
crafted
not
just
for
metro
audiences
but
also
appealing
to
hundreds
of
millions
of
users
across
the
country.
We're
thrilled
to
have
Ajay
Devgn
headline
the
series
and
we
are
certain
that
his
fans
would
be
happy
to
see
him
in
a
new
avatar"
Sameer
Nair,
CEO,
Applause
Entertainment
said,
"Rudra
-
The
Edge
of
Darkness
is
one
of
our
biggest
shows
to
date
and
we
are
very
excited
to
have
Ajay
Devgn
play
the
lead.
He
truly
has
the
fiery
intensity
and
persona
required
