Mumbai: Lionsgate Play brings the dystopian action thriller Boy Kills World this 29 November. Starring Bill Skarsgård in a transformative role, alongside Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen and Yayan Ruhian, this film packs an unforgettable punch. The story follows Boy, a deaf-mute who endures a brutal life by escaping into a vivid fantasy world. After his family is murdered, he trains under a mysterious shaman to become an unstoppable killing machine. Fueled by rage and thirst for revenge, he transforms his pain into power, setting off on a relentless quest to take down those responsible.

Talking about Boy Kills World, lead actor Bill Skarsgård said, “This was one of the better scripts I’ve read. It’s an entertaining thrill ride with a unique tone and story. It’s very funny at times, but then it surprises you with a nuanced and emotional journey. The movie is told through Boy’s eyes, which brings home the tragic elements. His entire life has been about destruction.”

Talking about his dramatic transformation for the role where he lost 20 pounds, building a lean and sinewy physique, he shared, “I also had to learn to fight from the ground up. It was a very short amount of time to do all that. I worked many hours just learning the basics. I wasn’t sure I could do it, but I watched a lot of martial arts movies to prepare.”
