Reflecting on the experience, Raghav Juyal expressed gratitude for the journey, remarking, “This has taught me perseverance and deepened my passion for filmmaking. I hope it inspires others to pursue their dreams against all odds.” The film recently hosted a star-studded premiere, drawing attention from Lionsgate and 87Eleven Entertainment, renowned for the ‘John Wick’ series, who announced plans for an English-language adaptation impressed by ‘Kill’s’ gripping narrative and dynamic action.
Directed by Stahelski and produced by Spitz and Young, the remake aims to capture the original’s intensity, which unfolds as Lakshya’s character races against time and adversaries on a New Delhi-bound train to rescue his love interest, Tulika, portrayed by Tanya Maniktala.
