‘Yudhra Felt Like The Perfect Film To Come To Bollywood’

‘There
should
be
some
angst
behind
the
action.’

“It’s
all
beetroot
juice
for
me,”
Raghav
Juyal
says,
bringing
on
the
laughs,
when
he
spoke
about
his
next
villain
outing
in
the
actioner

Yudhra,
after
his
bloody
movie,

Kill.

Raghav
joins
lead
pair
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
and
Malavika
Mohanan
in
Ravi
Udyawar’s

Yudhra,
as
they
speak
about
the
film
at
its
trailer
launch.

moments
from
the
event.

“I’ve
got
the
opportunity
to
play
a
villain
in
such
a
big
set-up,
and
that’s
why
I’ve
taken
it.
If
I
got
the
hero’s
role,
I
would
have
taken
that
too,
but
it’s
fun
to
play
the
villain.
Shah
Rukh
sir
also
started
as
a
villain,”
Raghav
says.

“Yudhra
felt
like
the
perfect
film
to
come
to
Bollywood
with,”
says
Malavika,
and
opens
up
about
why
she
chose
to
debut
in
Hindi
with
this
movie.

Siddhant
also
discusses
the
action
in
the
film:
“There
should
be
some
angst
behind
the
action.
Javedsaab
had
said
that
the
Angry
Young
Man
action
image
had
become
very
caricaturish.

Bematlab
logon
ko
maar
rahe
hai,
just
to
get
eyeballs,
just
for
the
effect.
But
in
this
film,
there
is
a
lot
of
depth
and
that’s
what
I
connected
to.
If
I
had
to
just
hit
people
or
show
six
packs,
that’s
not

mazedaar
for
me.”

“I
was
lucky
that
I
got
this
film.
I
was
just
one
film
old,
that
too
in
a
supporting
role
in

Gully
Boy,
when
I
got
such
a
big
film,”
Siddhant
says.

“When
I
wanted
to
be
an
actor,
I
knew
that
there
would
be
a
long
wait
before
I
got
work,
and
a
long
wait
after
I
got
work.
The
process
takes
a
long
time.
But
I
knew
they
were
making
something
big,
so
I
didn’t
mind
the
wait,”
Siddhanth
says.

Malavika
enjoys
a
double
bill
in
September,
as
she
has
another
release
coming
up:
Vikram-starrer-Thangalaan‘s
Hindi
version.

To
Sid’s
relief,
it
doesn’t
release
on
the
same
day
as

Yudhra.
