Kalki 2898 AD is doing great at the box-office as the movie has crossed the Rs. 1000 crore mark worldwide but surprisingly Lakshya and Raghav Juyal starrer Kill has also managed to get a good opening (Rs. 6.25 crore in opening weekend) despite facing competition from Kalki 2898 AD.
Recently Raghav Juyal gave an interview in which he said, “I feel so proud that there is me and Lakshya on one side, there is Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Kamal Haasan on the other side. We are kids, we were inspired by them and moved to Mumbai and now, we have our film running in theatres along with theirs and are able to bring in the audiences for our shows. For me, this is a big deal.”
He added, “I feel that it was a good thing. Every news outlet is saying that despite of Kalki 2898 AD, Kill is bringing people to theatres. This news is an achievement. That is a big budget film while ours is a low budget film. For us, this is an achievement. Who are we in comparison to these stars? We’ve learnt so much from them, we’ve performed his iconic scenes in front of the mirror. It is an achievement for me that this is how I have arrived as an actor in the industry.”
Raghav Juyal also said that word of mouth has helped the movie a lot, “It is the word which is really helping. We didn’t go all out with the promotions. It was a film shown at a film festival, we then hosted screenings and I think this is the first film where we hosted multiple screenings for the media and opened the platform for questions to the media at the screening. We had that confidence in our film. This was the producers’ call and this was risky move — to show the film to critics and journalists, and we stand in front of them to answer every question they have.”
