If the recently unveiled trailer of Kill is any indication, director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat and actor Lakshya are set to give us a fast-paced and relentlessly violent action film. And where there is an action fare, there is a menacing villain. Guneet Monga Kapoor, who has produced the July 5 release with Karan Johar, says finding the right actor for the villain was the toughest part; that is, until she saw Raghav Juyal’s audition. She says, “We took 100 auditions and Raghav stood out to us. We were searching for someone who could bring an unusual blend of menace and humour to the role, a character who could captivate and terrify the audience at the same time. Raghav not only embraced the part’s complexity, but also added his own unique flair.”
