Raashii Khanna who is very excited to make her digital debut shared insight on the relationship her character shares with Rudra and working with Ajay Devgn, she shares, “To be honest, I was nervous at first to work with him. But when I met him, I realized how down-to-earth he is. It’s very easy to have a conversation with him. And whatever little that I have pulled off playing this character is all thanks to him and my director. Ajay sir was very supportive and made me feel very comfortable. I wouldn’t have been able to pull off certain scenes if it wasn’t for his support, especially my introduction. He obviously is very experienced and I learned a lot from him in terms of camera angles, playing out certain emotions, playing it natural and the list is very long!”

A remake of the successful British series Luther, the series is an engaging and dark take on a cop's journey of uncovering truths and bringing victims justice. It will see Ajay Devgn’s titular character of an intuitive and instinctive police officer fighting for the truth in darkness as he wades through a grim and complex web of crimes and criminals and corruption with a wrathful, steely grit.
