When they handed the script to Ajay, he was totally taken aback by the writing and immediately jumped on board. He'll play a detective obsessed with his job of capturing criminals, a role previously played by Idris Elba. His character is multi-dimensional, with shades of grey, and needed an actor of Ajay's calibre,” a source close to the creation confirmed, adding that pre-production work on the show is currently in full swing.
Rajesh Mapuskar, known for the slice-of-life film Ferrari Ki Sawaari and the Marathi film Ventilator, will direct the series. The filming schedule and other cast members' identities are being held under wraps for the time being, although there is heavy media speculation that Ileana D'Cruz will play the female lead alongside Devgn. Aside from Ajay, another actor, Hrithik Roshan, is preparing to make his Hotstar debut, and we've heard that an announcement is on the way soon. Ajay is currently filming MayDay, which he will direct. His shooting schedule is jam-packed with films such as Thank God, Kaithi, Chanakya, the YRF film, and many others.
