Aparshakti Khurana to play Bollywood superstar in debut OTT series

Mumbai, Jan 14 : Actor Aparshakti Khurana is all set to make his digital debut in the Vikramaditya Motwane web series Stardust.

The series is a fictional take on the Indian film industry from 1947 to 1989, and will explore the clash between two superstars.

Aparshakti, who will play one of the two protagonists, says: "Stardust is a series close to my heart for more than one reason.

It's my OTT debut. It's a period drama series and I am extremely humbled to play the role of one of the first superstars of Bollywood.

It will give me the opportunity to work with a genius like Vikramaditya Motwane and the legendary Prosenjit Chatterjee -- which is every actor's dream.

I am really looking forward to all the learning and fun."

Stardust is expected to go on floors around March or April.



Apart from the web series, Aparshakti has a string of releases lined up this year. These include the comedy film Helmet with Pranutan, and a suspense thriller co-starring R. Madhawan.
