Aditya Roy Kapur Calls Prep For Raj & DK's Rakt Brahmand 'Intense', Learns Sword Fighting And Horse Riding
Aditya Roy Kapur has wrapped up the first shoot schedule of Raj and DK's Rakt Brahmand.
The handsome hunk Aditya Roy Kapur is back and this time he is teaming up with filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. After his OTT outing The Night Manager, Aditya has now collaborated with Raj & DK for Rakt Brahmand – The Bloody Kingdom, an action-fantasy series set in a fantastical kingdom. It will stream on Netflix and is directed by Rahi Anil Barve, who has helmed Tumbbad before.
The first schedule of the shoot of Rakt Brahmand wrapped up in Mumbai recently. But it was no easy feat for Aditya. To get under the skin of his character he’s playing, the actor had to undergo three months of rigorous training in physical art forms like sword fighting, weaponry, horse riding and archery.

Raj and DK told Hindustan Times, “At the heart of Rakt Brahmand 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."
Aditya Roy Kapur added, “I’ve been a fan of Raj and DK’s work and they are always finding ways to tell stories in new and exciting ways. The passion they have for this project is infectious and the vision they have for is so unique and genre-bending."
The actor is returning to the action genre after the 2020 film Malang. He said, “The prep has been intense but one of the most enjoyable perks of being an actor is to be able to pick up new skills and this show has me doing that in spades, with everything from sword fighting to archery and horse riding. But possibly even more important than the physical work,there is a huge amount of mental preparation which I’ve been relishing."
Rakt Brahmand will soon get into the second leg of shoot.
