After a month of speculation about Aditya Roy Kapur’s next project with directors Raj & DK, the news is confirmed – it's a web series titled Rakhtabeej. Aditya will be leading the show and sharing the screen with Samantha Ruth Prabhu, reuniting her with the director duo after their successful collaborations on The Family Man 2 and the upcoming Citadel: Honey Bunny.

After his OTT debut in The Night Manager last year, it seems the actor has found a new platform to showcase his talent. According to a report in Mid-day, sources revealed that Kapur was in discussions with Raj & DK for the past six months before finally signing on to the project in May. The hunt for the leading lady didn't take long either, with Samantha Prabhu quickly coming on board.

Given the action-heavy nature of Rakhtabeej, both Kapur and Prabhu have reportedly begun their preparations for their roles. The actors are also expected to participate in joint training sessions to further enhance their on-screen chemistry and combat skills.

While Raj & DK are currently focused on completing the third season of The Family Man, their commitment to Rakhtabeej remains strong. If all goes according to plan, filming for the new series will begin in August.
