‘I realised this…’, Raghav Juyal about his character in film ‘Kill’ – India TV FilmyMeet

Dharma Productions’ Kill has become one of the best films in recent times. The level of graphic violence usually seen in international films, was showcased in Bollywood. This film is a significant milestone in Bollywood. Recently, actor Raghav Juyal spoke about how he knew his character would open doors in the industry for him as an actor. 

“Kill” star Raghav Juyal says he knew that “Kill” was going to open doors for him in the industry when he first auditioned for the action movie, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat. Touted as India’s most violent film ever by its makers, the movie continues to enjoy a theatrical run in the third week. Also starring Lakshya and Tanya Maniktala, it has earned over Rs 20 crore at the box office.

Juyal who is famous for his dancing skills as well as comic timing as a host on several dance reality shows, plays the antagonist in the movie. “While watching the auditions, I realised this character was going to open doors for me as an actor in this industry and it did. Everyone loved it and I got amazing reviews,” the actor told PTI in an interview.

“Kill” follows the story of Army commando Amrit, who boards the train on which his girlfriend and her family are also travelling. However, things go awry when Fani (Juyal) and his gang enter the train and begin to mercilessly kill its passengers. Admitting the portrayal of his character Fani has become a “turning point” for him, Juyal said just the other day, he got a message from filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.

“Anurag Kashyap sir messaged me and said, ‘I have watched the film and you have killed it’ and it coming from Anurag Kashyap is something like. There is a bucket list to work with him. I feel like calling him and saying ‘All the praise is fine but I want to work with you. ‘ Even if you make me an AD, it’s fine. After performing extensive action in “Kill”, the actor said he wants to explore the romantic genre now. “I want to do some romantic projects. Like (with) Imtiaz Ali or someone to just explore my ‘roohani’ side.

Juyal, who began his career as a dancer, previously worked in films like “Nawabzaade” and “ABCD: Any Body Can Dance” franchise and hosted the dance show “Dance Plus”. “I got passionate about acting later when I understood what acting is. I began taking coaching. For five years, I have learned acting at a lot of places and I still go for workshops,” said the actor, adding that he earlier had a different perception about acting as a skill.

The actor has several projects in the pipeline including the series “Gyaarah Gyaarah”, which is another collaboration of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment after “Kill”. He will also feature in the film “Yudhra” alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan.
