Raghav Juyal is gearing up to showcase his dark side once again in the upcoming film Yudhra. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the movie features Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan in lead roles. Raghav, who initially made a name for himself as a dancer, is now proving his mettle as an actor with a growing list of impressive performances. In Yudhra, he steps into the shoes of a villain, continuing the trend he set with his previous role in Kill.

The film Yudhra is set to hit theaters on September 24, 2024, and features a strong ensemble cast. Alongside Raghav, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan play significant roles, making the film a highly anticipated release. The movie is written by Shridhar Raghavan with dialogues by Farhan Akhtar and Akshat Ghildial, promising a gripping storyline.

At the recent trailer launch of Yudhra, Raghav was asked about his back-to-back villainous roles. When a reporter playfully inquired if he’s becoming Bollywood’s new bad guy, Raghav’s response was both witty and honest. He humorously remarked that it’s all about the roles that come his way. "If they had given me the role of a pole in this big film, I would have taken it, but they gave me a villain, so I portrayed that," he said with a laugh.

Raghav also shared his thoughts on playing negative characters, drawing a comparison to Shah Rukh Khan. “It is fun to portray the role of a villain, and even Shah Rukh (Khan) sir also started with the villain (roles), so, I am thinking the same things would happen,” he added, showing that he’s quite optimistic about his career choices.

Raghav’s earlier performance in Kill earned him praise for his portrayal of a villain. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the 2023 action thriller was based on true events and featured an ensemble cast including Lakshya, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Tanya Maniktala. Raghav’s role in Kill helped solidify his reputation as a versatile and talented actor in the industry.
