Raghav Juyal played the role of a menacing antagonist named Shafiq in the action thriller Yudhra. The actor talked about his role in the film in a new interview with Mid-Day and said that the experience impacted him so much that he had to disconnect from everything and head back home for a while. 

What Raghav said

During the interview, Raghav said, “Portraying such a dark and intense character in Yudhra was a unique experience for me. I had to push my own boundaries. I engaged in behaviour that was far from my usual self. This process was intense and, at times, unsettling. After we wrapped up the shoot, I realised how much the role had impacted me on a psychological level. I felt an overwhelming need to disconnect and heal.”

He went on to add, “My family noticed the change in my behaviour and was concerned. It made me realise how deeply I had immersed myself in the character. This was the first time I attempted a role like this, even though I had done Kill. It was a challenging but rewarding experience.”

This is not the first time that Raghav has played the role of an antagonist in a film. He earned a lot of praise for his menacing turn in Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's Kill, which released earlier this year. Also starring Lakshya and Tanya Maniktala, it earned over ₹20 crore at the box office.
