In a recent interview with Mashable India, the Kill actor said, “It is a very difficult choice. Tum jo kar rahe ho itne salo se toh koi achanak se bole ki chord do, identity chordna apni kuch nayi cheeze paane ke liye toh vo bahut mushkil kaam tha. Vo sabse mushkil hota stereotype break karna i think.”

“(It is a very difficult choice. When someone suddenly tells you to give up what you have been doing for so many years, letting go of your identity to pursue something new is very challenging. Breaking stereotypes is the hardest thing, I think.)”


Raghav Juyal mentioned that it's easier to enter the industry as a blank slate than to break an existing stereotype. He found it extremely challenging to shatter those expectations and deliver something surprising.
