Talking about the win, Ajay Devgn said, “Rudra was my OTT debut. And, though it took me time to adjust to the format, I’m proud of the series because it was taut and interesting.  I liked the experience of shooting in real-time locations with a bunch of very talented fellow actors. I was happy and proud when it went on to become the most-watched show on Disney+ Hotstar. The viewers are the ultimate kings. I’m also happy it won the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for best series. Congratulations to all the teams that worked on it. Congratulations to Rajesh Mapuskar too.”
