Mumbai: The action film franchise Commando will soon be adapted into an OTT series. The new show will detail the adventures of Para SF Captain Karan Singh Dogra, giving viewers a closer look at his life and mission.

The series will release exclusively on the OTT platform Disney Plus Hotstar and will be backed by filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who previously helmed the medical drama series Human for the streamer.

Commenting on the development, Vipul said in a statement, “It is an absolute pleasure to expand an action franchise like Commando into the world of OTT. The franchise has been very special as we launched the extremely talented Vidyut Jammwal and it continues.

Vipul, who will take over as the producer of the show, is currently on the hunt for a fresh face to play the lead character in the new show.

Commando as a film has only Vidyut Jammwal, but OTT will launch a new Commando. Also, action is a genre that hasn’t been explored much on OTT in India, so in that sense, it will be a new thing for OTT. I am thrilled to be associated with Disney Plus Hotstar after Human, as they are an amazing team with great vision.

This will be the first time in India that a film franchise will be converted into a digital series from the beginning.
