Raghav Juyal calls himself the "biggest outsider" in the film industry
In a recent interview with India Today, Raghav Juyal opened up on how he feels being an "outsider" and if this tag has ever pinched him in his journey so far. Calling himself the "biggest example of an outsider", Raghav said that he worked hard to make his way into the industry.
"I come from Dehradun, with no connection to the industry. I am not even signed by an agency and function completely solo. I can't be going into the complaining mode or else I would be stuck there," the actor said.
Raghav said that he focuses on continuing to work, no matter if he succeeds or fails. Citing an example of sports players, the Kill actor said that they strike back even after suffering from failures. Raghav added that he wants to live his life in the same way.
Raghav acknowledges Karan Johar for backing two "newcomers"
In the same interview, Raghav Juyal requested the audience to watch his film, Kill, in theatres, especially the ones criticizing filmmakers for casting only star kids.

Talking about the positive response to Kill, Raghav shared that the film has been running successfully in theatres solely on "word-of-mouth". He called the moment a "big achievement" for his co-star Lakshya and himself.
Kill is co-produced by Karan Johar, Guneet Monga, Apoorva Mehta, and Achin Jain.
