Actor Kunal Kapoor is excited to play the role of superhero Doga, who is “dark, angry and an anti-hero”, in an upcoming TV series.
Unlike other superheroes, Doga, created in 1992 by Raj Comics, has no super powers and solely relies on his combat skills, especially in martial arts and boxing, and his remarkable physical strength.
“Doga is by far the most ambitious project I have been part of. I have dreamt of playing this character for a long time, and I’m very happy that’s it taking shape now. Doga is a superhero, the kind of which has never been seen. He is dark, angry and an anti-hero,” said Kapoor.
“It’s going to be extremely challenging. Doga is the ultimate badass and is built like a beast. Besides that, there will have to be a lot of different martial arts that I’ll have to learn. It’s a huge responsibility, but I’m ready for it,” he added.
Manish Gupta from Raj Comics said: “Doga is a very ambitious project for us and we are recruiting some of the best minds and creative talent to bring this on screen.”
Will there be a movie as well? “There definitely will be, but right now the series is our focus. The project is slated to start later this year. The technical team will be finalised soon,” said Kapoor.
As for films, Kapoor is working on Tigmanshu Dhulia’s war drama Raag Desh — Birth of a Nation and Reema Kagti’s Gold.
