RIDING HIGH

Kill is dancer-actor Raghav Juyal's breakthrough film, a decade into his acting career

He’s the villain who has the most lines, the darkly funny sort, and he draws the most laughs in Kill, the gory flick which unfolds on a train. Raghav Juyal had a bloody good time playing the menacing dacoit who instigates the chaos. Best known as a contestant on TV show Dance India Dance, then a choreographer on dance reality shows and finally as their funny host, Juyal decided in 2021 that he needed to get out of the comfortable terpsichorean zone and show his thespian skills.“I left all of TV’s pampering and ego beh ind, and put all my energy into acting,” says Juyal. After his much-lauded performance in Kill, Juyal will be seen in the ZEE5 web series Gyaarah Gyaarah, an official adaptation of the popular K-drama Signal, which releases on August 9.
