Raghav Juyal is overjoyed with Karan Johar lauding his performance in Kill

Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment's latest production Kill, recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film, headlined by debutant actor Lakshya, also starred dancer-actor Raghav Juyal in the role of the antagonist.

Talking about the overwhelming praise he has been receiving for his performance as a malevolent character in Kill, Raghav Juyal says that he is truly humbled and grateful. "It's an honour to be recognized as the Villain of the Year, and I'm immensely thankful to the audience and critics for their support. Bringing this character to life was a challenge I embraced, and I'm thrilled that it resonated with viewers. This journey wouldn't have been possible without the incredible team behind Kill and the visionary direction of Nikhil Nagesh Bhat. In addition, the words said by my makers, especially what Karan said recently have really given me the motivation and validation that my experiment and venture into the role of a menacing villain has paid off."

In a recent interview with The Film Companion, Karan Johar expressed his admiration for Raghav Juyal's transformation into an antagonist. He said "Raghav Juyal is so fantastic as an antagonist. I have seen him on the reality shows which he's hosted, I have seen him dancing; he is such a terrific dancer. When you see that sweet smiling Raghav in this role, one will say, 'Aise kaun Marta hai!!' (Who kills a person like this?). The thing is that he can be so menacing. We have never made a film like this."

A second collaboration between Karan and Guneet after Gyaarah Gyaarah, Kill also stars Tanya Maniktala in an important role. The film is written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat.
