Armed with a razor-sharp wit and an effortless sense of humour, he comes across as intelligent, spontaneous and refreshingly unfiltered. But beneath the fun-loving exterior is an actor determined not to be confined to a single genre.<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">From making his mark on a dance reality show to becoming a popular television host and now carving a space for himself as an actor, Raghav&#8217;s journey has been anything but easy. Yet, he has embraced every challenge with grit and conviction. Today, he stands confident, self-assured and ready to push his boundaries with every new project. As his latest film, &#8216;<\/span><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Bhai Tera Star Hai<\/span><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">&#8216;, releases in theatres today, Raghav sits down for a candid conversation about the film, his evolution as an actor, the transition from television to the big screen, and why he believes comedy deserves a comeback. Read on&#8230;<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>&#8216;Bhai Tera Star Hai&#8217; is your first film with you as the main lead if one may say, one also sees that the film is quirky with lots of comedy, how was the experience of doing this?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>It was amazing. I read the script and, at that time, I said, &#8220;I have to do this.&#8221; I knew I couldn&#8217;t let it go because it was very fresh. It\u2019s not a formula comedy; it\u2019s something new. There\u2019s a space in comedy that has been empty for a while now.<!-- --> The kind of comedy that <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/govinda\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Govinda<\/a> and others used to do is missing, and audiences are very young today. The environment everywhere is so intense that there should be a wave of comedy. People should come to theatres, laugh, be happy, and go home feeling relaxed. So I said, &#8220;Let\u2019s do this.&#8221; It was a lot of fun.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>Do you think this film will fill that gap?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Yes, it should. After this, I have so many intense projects coming up, so I wanted to tell the audience that I\u2019m still the same kid, the same boy. <!-- -->Come, enjoy, laugh, and go home relaxed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>Do you feel that after &#8216;Kill&#8217;, there was a shift in how people perceived you or in the kind of offers you started receiving? The critical acclaim the film received seemed like a turning point. Then &#8216;The Ba***ds of Bollywood&#8217; also happened. Do you feel those projects changed things for you?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Yes, absolutely. After &#8216;Kill&#8217;, the entire industry&#8217;s perspective towards me changed, and that was very important. After that came &#8216;Gyaarah Gyaarah&#8217;, &#8216;Yudhra&#8217;, and &#8216;The Ba***ds of Bollywood&#8217;. Now, as an actor and as a star, you have to serve different kinds of content to the audience. The audience has changed. They can recognise what is good and what isn\u2019t. So you really need to work on yourself and be at that level.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>What has been the most challenging part of your journey so far?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The only challenging part has been the transition from television to reinventing myself as a theatrical star. We are good at acting. I know I\u2019m talented. But building that image where people come to theatres to watch you, where the audience wants to see you on the big screen\u2014that\u2019s a completely different game.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>So were there any jitters about becoming a theatrical lead?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>I\u2019m really confident.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>Have you always been this confident, or is it something you had to work on?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s confidence or not.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>What do you mean by that?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>You have to be your own coach. You have to motivate yourself. <!-- -->If I\u2019m going to do it, then I\u2019m going to do it. You have to keep telling yourself that consciously. Now it\u2019s my time to come as a lead. People are craving for someone like me to make it big so that they can dream big too.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>Do you think it\u2019s still difficult to avoid being stereotyped? <keyword id=\"20150908\" type=\"TOPIC\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"Paresh-Rawal\" source=\"TOPIC\" sourcekeytype=\"Celebrity\" meta.keywordsubtype=\"cinema-entertainment\" meta.msid=\"61470676\" meta.seopath=\"cinema-entertainment\/paresh-rawal\" meta.entityname=\"Paresh Rawal\" meta.hostid=\"83\" meta.entityid=\"Paresh-Rawal\" solralias.seotitle=\"Paresh-Rawal\" solralias.msid=\"61470676\" solralias.title=\"Paresh Rawal\">Paresh Rawal<\/keyword> recently said he doesn\u2019t want to be typecast as Baburao after &#8216;Hera Pheri&#8217;. Does that still happen\u2014that once you play one character successfully, you start getting similar scripts?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>Yes, it does happen that you get similar scripts and get stereotyped. But it\u2019s up to you whether you choose to do them or not.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>Lastly, what would you like to say about &#8216;Bhai Tera Superstar&#8217; and all the projects that are coming after it, including &#8216;Vikram Maalik&#8217;?<br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/>Before all the intense projects, I want to bring a wave of comedy to theatres so that people are happy. <!-- -->The environment is so stressful. Everyone has tension in their daily lives. At least come to the theatre and be happy. I want to give people that dose. Before every medicine, the doctor gives an antacid. If you\u2019re feeling fine, then you can watch the rest of the content.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"57\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h4>You said something so lovely in an interview recently, when asked about being protective towards <keyword id=\"19939212\" type=\"TOPIC\" weightage=\"20\" keywordseo=\"Shehnaaz-Gill\" source=\"TOPIC\" sourcekeytype=\"Celebrity\" meta.keywordsubtype=\"cinema-entertainment\" meta.msid=\"86645110\" meta.seopath=\"(cinema-entertainment\/shehnaaz-gill)\" meta.entityname=\"Shehnaaz Gill\" meta.hostid=\"83\" meta.entityid=\"shehnaaz-gill\" solralias.seotitle=\"shehnaaz-gill\" solralias.msid=\"86645110\" solralias.title=\"Shehnaaz Gill\">Shehnaaz Gill<\/keyword> in a viral video, that you will always be protective towards any woman and that your parents raised you to be that kind of man. In general, how do you deal with people writing about your personal life? Also, do you think men are changing their perspective today when it comes to being a protector, provider? <br \/><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"59\"\/>It\u2019s up to you. You should do what you feel is right. I think I\u2019m a little old-school. I\u2019ve been brought up to be a protector and a provider. That\u2019s how I\u2019ve become. My mother and my aunt raised me very well. I believe women should be respected, and if they are in a crowd like that, they should be protected. People may say different things, but whatever I did there, I did it out of protectiveness. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"61\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/entertainment\/hindi\/bollywood\/news\/raghav-juyal-says-the-kind-of-comedy-films-govinda-used-to-do-is-missing-i-hope-to-fill-the-gap-as-he-opens-up-on-bhai-tera-star-hai-his-journey-viral-video-with-shehnaz-gill-and-more-exclusive\/articleshow\/132738351.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raghav Juyal is every bit as quirky off-screen as many of the characters he portrays on-screen, especially his scene-stealing turn in &#8216;The Ba***ds of Bollywood&#8217;.
