Raj & DK are set to return with a new fantasy series, Rakt Bramhand – The Bloody Kingdom. They have officially signed Aditya Roy Kapur as the lead. The show was first announced in July last year and promises an exciting take on the genre.
Aditya Roy Kapur Officially Confirmed To Lead Rakt Bramhand
On January 31, Karan Johar’s Dharma Cornerstone Agency confirmed the news on Instagram. The post featured Aditya alongside Raj & DK, followed by a statement from the directors.
“At the heart of Rakt Bramhand 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.”
Karan Johar also showed his support by resharing the announcement on his Instagram stories. “Congratulations Adi!! Can’t wait to see the Raj & DK magic work wonders with you,” he wrote, adding a red heart emoji.
