The news has been confirmed over the weekend that Aditya Roy Kapur will be seen in a web series, which is directed by Raj & DK titled Rakhtabeej. The show will be lead by Aditya himself starring alongside Samantha Ruth Prabhu who is back again with the director duo after some highly successful collaborations such as The Family Man 2 and the upcoming Citadel: Honey Bunny.
This year, however, he seems to have discovered another medium through which he can showcase his talents as an actor. According to Mid-day’s report, sources state that Kapur had been in talks with Raj & DK for about six months before signing the project this May. Besides, Samantha Prabhu was quickly roped in as well as the leading lady.
According to reports, Kapur and Prabhu have already begun preparing for their respective roles due to the action-packed nature of Rakhtabeej. Additionally, both actors are expected to engage in joint training sessions so as to improve on their on-screen chemistry and combat skills so far.
Raj & DK are at present busy completing season three of The Family Man but remain committed to Rakhtabeej. If everything goes according to plan shooting for this new series will start in August.
