Aditya Roy Kapur is all set to return to OTT after his popular web series The Night Manager. The actor recently collaborated with renowned filmmaker duo Raj & DK for their upcoming web series Rakt Brahmand-The Bloody Kingdom. The show is a fantasy series which is set against the backdrop of a fantastical kingdom. Rakt Brahmand will be streaming on Netflix. The series is directed by Tumbbad director Rahi Anil Barve. The first schedule of the show has been wrapped up recently in Mumbai. Aditya in a recent interview shared that the ‘prep’ for the series was quite intense and also mentioned that he enjoyed picking some new skills for it.
Talking about the show, Raj & DK told Hindustan Times, “At the heart of Rakt Brahmand is a character that demands strength, intensity and a bit of wackiness, and Aditya brings all of that as the lead. And for his part, he’s been training very hard to meet the demands of the character. Our goal with this show is to create a world that is both original and evokes the fantastical tales we grew up hearing.”
Aditya added, “I’ve been a fan of Raj and DK’s work and they are always finding ways to tell stories in new and exciting ways. The passion they have for this project is infectious and the vision they have for is so unique and genre-bending. The prep has been intense but one of the most enjoyable perks of being an actor is to be able to pick up new skills and this show has me doing that in spades, with everything from sword fighting to archery and horse riding. But possibly even more important than the physical work,there is a huge amount of mental preparation which I’ve been relishing.” The shooting for the second schedule will begin soon and will be shot throughout 2025.
