Raghav Juyal’s success story: From being rejected at Dance India Dance to Hollywood acclaim with Kill despite a flop debut
Courtesy of his work as a host in over ten reality shows, Raghav Juyal has established himself as one of the most successful hosts in the history of the Indian television industry. After making his mark as a dancer, choreographer, and host, Raghav entered into film business in 2014. The youngster made his acting debut in Charudutt Acharya’s film, Sonali Cable. Although the film couldn’t hit big at the box office, but he has succeeded in capturing the attention of movie directors and producers.
In the following years, Raghav Juyal appeared in a series of exciting films, including ABCD 2, Street Dancer 3D, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and also made his OTT debut with Abhay 2. However, it was his negative character named ‘Fani’ in Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s Kill that brought him huge success and international acclaim. For the uninitiated, Kill‘s remake rights have been acquired by the director of John Wick, Chad Stahelski, which speaks volumes about Raghav and the rest of the cast’s work. Apart from being exceptionally successful in three different areas, one thing that is common to Raghav’s journey in each of them is the ‘initial rejection’.
For the uninitiated, Raghav Juyal was rejected during the auditions of Dance India Dance season 3. However, when his audition video went viral on YouTube, the makers decided to call him on the show as a ‘wildcard contestant’ and the rest is history. Something similar happened when Raghav started doing hosting; many people criticised him and called his style ‘cringeworthy’. However, with time, the TRPs proved that Raghav was exceptional as a host. Not only this, but his debut film, Sonali Cable, flopped at the box office; despite this, he went on to make an impact on the international stage with Kill. It’s fair to say that Raghav has always fought against failures, and it’s his determination that has brought him this far.
