Actor-wrestler Saurav Gurjar, known for portraying Bheem and Ravan on the small screen, is set to make his Bollywood debut with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. He will play a negative role in Brahmastra, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor.
Asked about his character in the film, Saurav said in a statement, "I will be seen playing a negative role. It's a modern-day film set in India. But the reason it's called 'Brahmastra' is because the energies, wisdom and powers in the film come from ancient India."
"Brahmastra is a weapon of Hindu God Brahma, who is called the creator of universe, and hence is considered quite powerful," he added. Saurav is currently in Florida, US for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) training.
