Lakshya Lalwani, who has been garnering acclaim for his debut action-thriller film ‘Kill,’ recently shared his thoughts on the comparisons being made between his film and popular series like ‘Mirzapur’ and the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial ‘Animal,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor. The movie has been lauded by netizens, with some calling it the “father of Mirzapur and Animal.”
In a new interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Lalwani was asked about these comparisons.He expressed his discontent, saying, “I hate comparisons because while growing up, I have dealt with a lot of comparisons and added that it is not a good feeling.” He explained, “Comparisons just like, it happens while growing up… that people say that, you know, why aren’t you scoring as many marks as this one is scoring or why aren’t you as successful as this one. So, I hate comparisons. I don’t like being compared to anything. Even if I am better than them. So I think comparisons, we don’t need comparisons.”
Despite his aversion to comparisons, Lalwani praised “Mirzapur” and “Animal,” expressing his admiration for Ali Fazal’s series and the intense violence depicted in “Animal.” He emphasized that the team behind “Kill” did not set out to surpass or outdo any existing works but aimed to create a compelling and quality film. “Our intent was very clear, we wanted to make a good film,” he stated.
Meanwhile, ‘Kill’ is receiving exceptional reviews from audiences, especially for its brilliantly choreographed action sequences which can even come par with ‘John Wick’ or other Hollywood action films. The movie also stars Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, Abhishek Chauhan, Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsh Chhaya, and Adrija Sinha.
