The Empire: Here is the first look of Dino Morea from the much-awaited magnum opus

Actor Dino Morea’s first look from the most-anticipated magnum opus, The Empire, has been unveiled. He is seen holding a sword and looking like a warlord in the picture released by the makers. 

“My look in The Empire is everything you imagine to be dangerous and ferocious. His hair, scars and his costume are detailed in a way that makes him look deadly, yet maybe desirable,” said Dino about his look. The actor also shared the character poster on his social media page. 

When fans of the actor were celebrating his new look, Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh also joined to cheer him. Interestingly, the former’s new appearance resembles Ranveer’s menacing character Alauddin Khilji from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Ranveer exchanged some good old bro love in the comment section. 

The Empire is a historical fiction series created by Nikhil Advani for Disney+Hotstar. Directed by Mitakshara Kumar, the series stars Kunal Kapoor, Drashti Dhami, Shabana Azmi and Srijan Srivastava, too.

Actress Drashti Dhami’s first look from the epic period drama was revealed earlier, and she had expressed happiness as it, according to her, reflected royalty and also allowed her to shapeshift into a warrior’s role. The project will be Drashti’s digital debut and she is playing a princess warrior for the first time. 

According to the makers, The Empire will offer a magnificent visual experience and it is going to be one of the grandest shows ever created in India. Its teaser which released last month hints the same, as it is styled like the epic series, Game Of Thrones, which won fans from across the globe. Apart from GOT, the teaser also reminds one of Bhansali’s Padmaavat. 

Director Mitakshara Kumar, who has earlier directed short films like Kaash and Katputliwala, had earlier assisted in films Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani. This has made movie buffs more curious about The Empire.
