Kundali Bhagya star Dheeraj Dhoopar in talks for Netflix’s Rise of Sivagami? Find out

Television’s heartthrob Dheeraj Dhoopar is one of the most sought-after actors. The actor recently turned producer with a couple of projects as well and is busy playing Karan Luthra in Kundali Bhagya. However, we hear that Dheeraj Dhoopar might make his OTT debut soon. He is rumoured to be in talks to play an important role in the Netflix-backed Rise of Sivagami. While there is no clarity on the role he might be playing in the series, the actor is in advanced talks about it with the makers, as per sources.

Dheeraj has previously expressed his desire to work for shows on OTT platforms and this certainly seems like a perfect opportunity. In 2018, Netflix had made the big announcement of live-action prequel series to Baahubali which will focus on the life of Sivagami. The series was said to be based on Anand Neelakantan’s novel ‘The Rise of Sivagami.’ The show was however put on hold as Netflix was not happy with the final results. It was later reported that the platform is planning to reenvision the project with a different cast.

To bring this universe to life in the scale and manner it deserves, we’re reenvisioning the story along with our amazing partners. Together we want to make sure we do justice to the expansive vision, depth of storytelling, and complex characters.”

Meanwhile, Dheeraj Dhoopar recently was seen in a music video with Hina Khan and was also seen in Naagin5. This certainly will be good news for his fans internationally to see him on an OTT release.
