Kill directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat is receiving positive responses from the audience and critics alike. The film released on July 5, is the most violent film of Bollywood backed by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga under Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. The film starring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, and Tanya Maniktala showcases adrenaline-pumping action sequences shot in a confined train. The director who penned every action scene in the script revealed Karan Johar’s reaction when he and Guneet Monga reached out to him. The film features Lakshya and Raghav Juyal in some high-octane action sequences that are the bloodiest and most gruesome. It is surprising to KJo to associate with such a genre film while he has delivered feel-good romantic movies. 

In an interview with Koimoi, Nikhil Nagesh Bhat said, “So Guneet and I had gone to meet Karan. Karan reads scripts. So he said that send me the script. I said it’s very difficult to read the script because I’ve written the entire action in detail, like every beat. Whatever you saw in the film was written down. So I said, it’s very difficult to read the script, because there is so much of a description of action that it becomes a little tedious. So he said, ‘It’s okay, fine, just narrate it to me’. So I started narrating it to him, and the moment the title card appeared, he stopped me. He said that he was doing the film. Guneet and I were looking at each other. I asked, ‘Do you want to listen to the next scene? What happens?’ He said, ‘No, no, I figured what you want to talk about. I’m doing the film’.”

He further added, “I insisted to him to hear the next scene because the film changes its gear from the next scene. But he said, ‘I know it’. I kept insisting that he hear it. Then I narrated that scene to Karan, and he said, ‘Yeah, I knew where it’s going, so that’s fine. I want to do this one; go make it. So there is no drama in that. So it’s a huge thing that my producers at Dharma are visionaries, especially from Karan, when he knows he’s not done an action film. So just to put faith in the script, to put faith in the fact that in the vision which I see, how the film will be, and to back me up and support me, it speaks volumes about the kind of vision he has.”
