Raghav Juyal on playing villain in Karan Johar's Kill
During a recent interaction with News18, Raghav Juyal opened up on playing a psychotic villain in the Karan Joharr-Guneet Monga production, Kill. Speaking about the same, he mentioned that his mother was there with him for the premiere and she couldn't believe it. She expressed surprise, wondering if this was the only role he could get. At first, she couldn't recognize him and was scared. He reassured her, mentioning that he would have to play different characters, just like Shah Rukh Khan started with villain roles.
He said, “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.” 
He then went on to discuss how he bagged the role of Fani. He mentioned that he was filming for an independent movie in Banaras alongside Ranveer Shorey and Sanjay Mishra when he had the opportunity to audition. He added, “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.’”
When Kill premiered at TIFF, numerous critics mentioned that India hadn't seen a film like it before. In response to this, Raghav stated that it's a “violent blood bash”. It's not like Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, it's more like Khach Khach Hota Hai. He added, “We used to joke about that. Bohot bohot bohot violent hai. You should watch it in the theatre to enjoy it to the fullest. I said this in an interview and then Karan sir also took that line, ‘Himmat hai toh hall main aao.’”
