Raashii Khanna has made a comeback to Bollywood with her debut OTT series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness that released on March 4 on Disney+ Hotstar.  

The show has received generally positive reviews and Raashii’s performance has been getting a lot of acclaim. 

Before the release of Rudra, we chatted with Raashii about her web series, her work in South Indian films and her upcoming Bollywood project Yodha starring Sidharth Malhotra and backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

While talking about Yodha, she exclusively told MensXP, “I’ve just shot in Lonavala and we have come back and shooting in Mumbai and I just have this one long schedule and I think Sidharth will wrap tomorrow (March 3) but I have another 20 days to go. The kind of character that I have in the film, it’s really nicely written and of course, apart from the romantic angle that’s there, it is also a really strong character that I play in the film.” 

She further talked about working with Dharma Productions and Karan Johar, who is often accused of nepotism and said, “I think, it is such a blessing because it is Dharma film and it’s honestly one of the big production houses in the country and I never thought being an outsider I could probably reach there as I used to think, ‘Arey yeh toh bahut mushkil hai’ (It’s quite difficult to get in). But I don’t know, I mean they must have seen something or they must have thought that you know I will be good for it. I am working with a fabulous team. My directors are great, Sidharth is a great co-star. I am really enjoying working on it.”
