Aditya Roy Kapur-Samantha Ruth Prabhu's show Rakt Brahmand is not shelved
Filmmaker duo Raj & DK's upcoming ambitious series Rakt Brahmand – The Bloody Kingdom, starring Aditya Roy Kapur , Samantha Ruth Prabhu , Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi recently sparked rumours of being shelved. Responding to the speculation, Krishna DK firmly denied the reports, saying, 'We've completed the main portions and have begun rehearsals for the action sequences that are to be shot outdoors. Rakt Brahmand is our biggest show in terms of scale and scope, and there's no urgency to rush the shoot. We're waiting for the Mumbai rains to subside so we can continue filming in large outdoor locations, including expansive grounds and lush forests.' Offering a glimpse into the show's concept, Krishna added, 'It's a period drama set between the 10th and 12th centuries, but with a modern take. The lead cast is training for some intense action scenes. Unfortunately, the rains arrived earlier than expected, forcing us to adjust our schedule.' There were also recent rumours about another project helmed by them, Gulkanda Tales, starring Kunal Kemmu and Pankaj Tripathi, being cancelled. Krishna clarified, 'It's taking time because of the extensive VFX work involved. But we wouldn't be putting in so much effort if our shows were actually being cancelled.' The duo is also busy with other ventures. 'We're gearing up for the release of The Family Man 3 and writing our next film,' he said.
