Get ready for the highly anticipated Netflix series, Rakt Bramhand: The Bloody Kingdom, a six-episode period fantasy directed by Rahi Anil Barve of Tumbbad fame. Inspired by G.A. Kulkarni's short story Vidhushak, this captivating tale follows two princes vying for a vacant throne after an emperor's demise.
Set in a unique fictional world, Rakt Bramhand unfolds in the courtyard of Raktakshee Devi, a goddess with red eyes.

The series also features Wamiqa Gabbi and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in pivotal roles.
With production expected to wrap up by November-end, Rakt Bramhand: The Bloody Kingdom is slated for a late 2025 premiere. Initially conceived as a feature film, Barve opted for a long-format treatment to do justice to the narrative's complexity. The project gained momentum with the involvement of Raj & DK, creators of The Family Man and Farzi, and Sita R. Menon.
