Can humanity be forced to sacrifice everything to save it by pinning its hopes on it? Disney+ Hotstar’s latest crime thriller, Rudra – The Age of Darkness is explored exactly as it takes viewers on a journey into the deepest depths of the criminal mind. Helmed by director Rajesh Mapuskar, this psychological crime drama features Ajay Devgn in the fiery avatar of a cop.
The six-episode series is the Indian rendition of the globally successful British series Luther. Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India, the crime drama has a stellar cast featuring Raashi Khanna, Esha Deol, Atul Kulkarni, Ashwini Kalsekar, Tarun Gehlot, Ashish Vidyarthi and Satyadeep Mishra in pivotal roles.
The series has a dark and complex narrative that is a strangely run-of-the-clock thriller set in the psyche of highly intelligent criminals and the detective who hunts them. It will see Ajay Devgn’s character of a placid and spontaneous police officer fighting for the truth in the dark as he wade through a grim and complicated web of crimes and criminals and corruption with a grumpy, steely grit.

The furious and thrilling crime saga is shot in many unique locations of Mumbai and re-imagines the city from the perspective of criminals.
