Raghav Juyal Off-screen, he’s as eccentric as many of the characters he plays on screen, especially his scene-stealing turn in “Bollywood Bad”. He has a sharp intellect and a light sense of humor that comes across as smart, natural, fresh and unfiltered. But beneath the funny exterior is an actor determined to look beyond a single genre.From cutting his teeth on a dance reality show, to becoming a popular television host, and now carving a path for himself as an actor, Raghav’s journey has been anything but smooth. Yet he met every challenge with courage and conviction. Today, he is confident and ready to push his limits with every new project. As his latest film,’Terra Star Seaout in theaters today, Raghav sat down to talk candidly about the film, his evolution as an actor, the transition from TV to the big screen, and why he thinks comedy should make a comeback.

“Bhai Tera Star Hai” is your first starring movie. If everyone thinks this movie is weird and has a lot of comedy elements, how was the experience of filming this movie?
marvelous. I read the script and I was like, “I have to do this.” I knew I couldn’t let it go because it was so fresh. This is not a formulaic comedy; This is something new. There’s a space in comedy that’s been vacant for a while. that kind of comedy Govinda And what other people were doing before has disappeared, and today’s audience is very young. With such an intense environment everywhere, there should be a dose of comedy. People should come to the cinema, laugh, be happy, and then go home relaxed. So I said, “Let’s do this.” It was fun.
Do you think this movie will fill that gap?
Yes, it should. I still have a lot of intense projects to do after this, so I want to tell the audience that I’m still the same kid, the same boy. Come, enjoy, laugh and come home relaxed.
Do you think people’s perception of you or the types of invitations you started receiving changed after Kill? The critical acclaim the film received seemed to be a turning point. And then “Bollywood Badass” happened. Do you feel like these projects have made a difference for you?
Yes, absolutely. After “Kill,” the industry’s perception of me changed, which was really important. It was followed by Gyaarah Gyaarah, Yudhra and Bollywood Badass. Now, as actors and stars, you have to deliver different types of content to your audience. The audience has changed. They can discern what is good and what is bad. So you really need to work on yourself and get to that level.
What has been the most challenging part of your journey so far?
The only challenging part was the transition from television to reinventing myself as a theater star. We act well. I know I’m talented. But building an image of people coming to the theater to see you, making the audience want to see you on the big screen – that’s a whole different ballgame.
So are there any qualms about being the lead in a drama?
I’m really confident.
Have you always been this confident, or did you have to work at it?
I don’t know if it’s confidence.
What do you mean?
You have to be your own coach. You have to motivate yourself. If I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it. You have to keep telling yourself this consciously. It’s time for me to lead. People aspire for people like me to achieve more so they too can dream big.
Do you think it’s still hard to avoid being stereotyped? Paresh Rawal He recently said that he does not want to be typecast as Baburao after “Hera Pheri”. Does this still happen – that once you successfully land a role, you start receiving similar scripts?
Yes, it does happen that things like this are scripted and stereotyped. But whether you choose to do so is up to you.
Finally, what do you have to say about ‘Bhai Tera Superstar’ and all the projects after it, including ‘Vikram Maalik’?
Before all the intense projects begin, I want to bring a wave of comedy to theaters and make people happy. The environmental pressure is too great. Everyone experiences stress in their daily lives. At least come to the theater and be happy. I want to give people this dose. Your doctor will give you an antacid before each dose. If you feel good, you can watch the rest.
In a recent interview, you said some really lovely things when asked about how to protect others Shehnaz Gill In a viral video, you will always be protective of any woman and your parents raised you to be that kind of man. In general, how do you deal with people who write about your personal life? Also, do you think men today are changing their perspective on being protectors, providers?
up to you. You should do what you think is right. I think I’m a bit old school. I was raised to be a protector and provider. This is what I became. My mother and aunt raised me well. I think women should be respected and if they are in a group like this, they should be protected. People may say different things, but no matter what I do there, I do it out of protectiveness.
