Sikhya Entertainment and Karan Johar’s upcoming film “Kill” is already generating significant buzz, thanks in large part to the standout performance of Raghav Juyal. The film, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, features Juyal in a role that combines humor and menace in a way that promises to captivate audiences.
“We took 100 auditions and Raghav stood out to us,” says Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga Kapoor. She elaborates on the casting decision, stating, “We were searching for someone who could bring an unusual blend of menace and humor to the role, a character who could truly captivate and terrify the audience at the same time. Raghav Juyal’s audition was extraordinary; he not only embraced the complexity of the character but also added his own unique flair. He is the best fit for this role in ‘Kill,’ and we can’t wait for the audience to see his performance.”
Guneet Monga Kapoor continues, “Raghav’s performance brilliantly captures the essence of his character, blending humor with a chilling sense of danger. His portrayal will undoubtedly remind audiences of the iconic Joker, but with a distinct twist that is entirely his own.”
Speaking about playing a murderous villain, Raghav exclusively told News18 Showsha, “My mother was there with me for the premiere. She couldn’t believe it. She was like, ‘Arre yaar tumhe yahi mila tha karne ko.’ She couldn’t recognise me for a while, she was scared. I said, ‘Mummy, I will have to do all kinds of characters. Shah Rukh Khan ne bhi villain se hi start kiya tha.’”
Speaking about how Raghav bagged Fani’s role, he said, “I was shooting for an independent film in Banaras with Ranveer Shorey and Sanjay Mishra ji when I got the chance to audition. When I met Guneet for the first time, she said, ‘I took 100s of auditions but couldn’t find anyone because it’s the lead character of the film.’ I read the script and said, ‘Bhai, I have to do this.’”
