Mumbai: Lakshya and Raghav Juyal recently appeared on the IMDb exclusive segment ‘On The Scene’ to talk about their film Kill. The movie revolves around a soldier who, while on a train journey, has to fight a group of dacoits. The film is known for its intense action sequences and gripping storyline, offering a mix of drama, suspense, and high-octane action.

During the interview, Juyal shared insights about a particularly challenging moment on set, saying, "There was a scene with the actor Abhishek Chauhan, who plays Viresh. He is a brilliant actor and a good friend of mine. I had to physically hurt him in the scene, and it was very challenging for me. It felt strange to harm a friend, even in a fictional context. Additionally, finding the rhythm of my character was tough. It took me a month or two, and listening to specific music, like 'Mozart: D minor', helped me capture the character's tempo."

Lakshya also reflected on the difficulties of shooting, saying, "Nothing was shot linearly. Scenes were filmed out of order, and maintaining emotional continuity was very challenging. My character has lost someone and is going through physical and emotional turmoil. It was crucial for all that to be reflected on my face and in my body language."

Speaking about his character, Lakshya added, "We went to the original NSG Camp based in Manesar. We went there and did a lot of study about how a commando moves, how they talk. I mean, these guys are beasts. The way they think. The kind of approach they have towards life and towards their enemies. I had neither heard nor seen this. I had seen it in movies, but in real life, they are the real heroes. I tried very hard to reach where they are. Training started happening. It went on for eight months consecutively, day in, day out. No cheat days, no cheat meals. We just used to prepare and learn fighting, learn choreography. Se-yeong Oh was the action choreographer. He made things very easy for us. There are over 46 killings in the film. So you can imagine how much hard work it took. Every killing is different. Every killing is unique. These guys have a gang of over 40 men. And all 40 men are killed in a unique way, with a new weapon each time. Every minute little thing was detailed. The lady who did our prosthetics, Zuby Johal, she was so detailed about it that she wanted to know about the depth of the wound, how deep is the wound. If somebody has punched you with a certain force, so a wound of a certain depth will be formed. There is detailing on such a thing, they have specially worked on that."

Describing his character, Juyal said,  “I discovered the character during the audition itself, the type of character he is, the type of villain he is. At that very moment, I felt that I had to do this. And through this character people will know me as an actor. It is a big thing for me that I am working with Karan Johar, Dharma Productions, Guneet Monga and Sikhya Entertainment. I'm on the poster. So it's a different feeling. This film is going to change my career, I think.”
