I personally haven't read Othello or watched it before ( as my studies were mostly round Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer's night dream), so I asked my friends to tell me the brief story of Othello for which I automatically clicked with Rudra and his anger and upbringing.
Though Rudra and Othello are very different, but the CV's can easily make them relate. The tragedy of Othello was that even though he was a righteous militant man, he became manipulated against his loyal and enduring wife Desdemona. A misunderstanding incident happens that makes him think that she's cheating on him. He then with jealousy and blinding anger kills Desdemona only to find out after that she didn't cheat on him at all. Othello kills himself in the end.
Relating to RR, with Rudra's upbringing of hating beautiful women becuase they are betrayers and deceiving, can a point come after Rudra falls for Paro, that a misunderstanding happens that makes him remember his father's words? Can be possible.
Will Rudra's jealousy and rage blind him from the truth? Possibly.
Can Rudra kill Paro in anger of misunderstood deceit? Would Rudra kill himself after if he had found out like Othello his grave unforgivable mistake?...I think *cough HOPE cough* not... but if the CV wanted?
I'm not saying at all this should happen, but the way the CV's are aligning RR so intensely with Othello...anything is possible.
