Actor-wrestler Saurav Gurjar, known for portraying Bheem and
Ravan on the small screen, is set to make his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar's
Dharma Productions. He will play a negative role in "Brahmastra", which also
stars Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.
Asked about his
character in the film, Saurav said in a statement: "I will be seen playing a
negative role. It's a modern-day film set in India. But the reason it's called
'Brahmastra' is because the energies, wisdom and powers in the film come from
ancient India."
"'Brahmastra' is a weapon of Hindu God Brahma, who is
called the creator of universe, and hence is considered quite powerful," he
added.
Saurav is currently in Florida, US for World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE) training.
"I am thankful to WWE for giving me the
permission and allowing me to do the film," he said.
Saurav will start
shooting for the film by early next month.
"Brahmastra" is a three-part
fantasy adventure movie.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the first part of the
franchise will arrive in theatres on August 15, 2019.
