Shashwat Sachdev compares the protagonist of the upcoming action film Kill with an “artiste with immense angst”. “Artistes will usually follow a template, and then, one among them will display so much passion in their expression that they end up changing the palette. For example, Vincent van Gogh’s [painting] The Potato Eaters displays a lot of angst, and [variance] in the way he attempted it. Similarly, musicians like Kurt Cobain changed how music was created. I believe, this is that film for India. It’s a genre-bending and genre-changing offering that will evoke extreme responses. It is so important for great art to flourish and inspire conversations, even if they are polarised,” he says of Karan Johar and Guneet Monga Kapoor’s production, featuring Lakshya.

The film, headlined by Lakshya, premiered last September
