Dancer turned actor Raghav Juyal has been getting a lot of accolades for his act as Fani in Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s Kill. He plays the leader of the goons, who are out to loot from train passengers and ends up clashing with Lakshya’s character of NSG Commando Amrit Rathod.
After this negative role, Raghav also has another antagonist role lined up for himself, with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s production Yudhra starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malvika Mohanan. In an exclusive interview with ETimes, Raghav revealed if playing a negative role was the only way of entering the movie business as an actor. He said, “ Mujhe hero vero ke role mil nahi raha tha .. I didn't have anything like a launchpad. I had to enter movies through auditions only, and I got both Kill and Yudhra through auditions. But in my next, which is a web series Gyara Gyara, I'm the protagonist. I’m a very good guy in that one ( laughs).This also I got through auditions. So, there was no plan as such to only play negative , I’m not that privileged that I will do only this film, or work with only Yashraj etc ..apne ko masdoori karke hi aage badhna hai.”
Raghav also pointed out his connection with Shah Rukh Khan, as both began their journey into movies in the same way, he said, “ Also I’m very happy that even Shah Rukh Khan entered movies with villain roles at the start of his career like me.”
It being now rumoured that Raghav will feature in Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s debut show Stardom as one of the lead actors.
