“I am thrilled to be working with Applause and BBC Studios on Rudra – The Edge of Darkness on Disney+ Hotstar VIP,” Esha remarked. As an actor, I prefer to work on projects that allow me to try new things while also engaging me as a spectator. This series is a unique twist on the classic cop drama, with a dark undertone that has never been explored in the Indian setting. With the OTT space’s overwhelming success, I’m excited to make my digital debut with this picture, and I’m looking forward to reuniting with Ajay Devgn, who has been a great co-star in many of my films.”
