Swanand Kirkire to make TV debut with series Rudrakaal

The makers of the upcoming show Rudrakaal have managed to rope in renowned lyricist, writer, actor and singer Swanand Kirkire to make his television debut.

The thriller series will release on March 7 on Star Plus. Swanand will be seen essaying the role of MLA Phulchand Mishra in the show. Swanand says, “The subject of the upcoming series and my mastermind character is what excited me the most to take up this show. Above all, I feel truly privileged and fortunate to begin work with various people and don unique roles in today’s time. And the reason I chose to play the antagonist in Rudrakaal is that I have always valued the script over my personal on-screen or off-screen image.” He adds, “Life is grey, it’s not black or white. You can play with the complexities, and that becomes the fun part about going to the sets every day. Adapting to the new characteristics, reviewing the new person – it’s really what makes an actor.”
