The actor, who is now gearing up for his first solo lead film, shared how the setback turned out to be a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n<p>Raghav Juyal recalls being dropped from a film<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with News18, Raghav Juyal recalled a time when he had missed out on a big film by a whisker right before &#8216;Kill&#8217; came his way. Talking about it, he said, &#8220;I was selected for a film. It was about to go on floors, and I was all set to begin the shoot for it. And then suddenly, the calls stopped coming from them. They then told me that they&#8217;re looking for a big face.&#8221;He further revealed the reason behind his rejection left him heartbroken. He shared, &#8220;Main unko bola tha ki main khaa-peeke apna face bada karta hoon kyunki abhi toh mera chhota face hai. Main aise mazaak kar deta hoon. Mujhe koi farak nahi padhta. I later got to know that the hero of the film told the makers to not cast me in it. Mujhe bahot dukh hua tha tab (I had told them that I&#8217;d eat more and put on some weight so my face would look big because I have a small face right now. I was just joking around\u2014I don&#8217;t really let such things affect me. Later, I found out that the film&#8217;s lead actor had asked the makers not to cast me. That really hurt me at the time).&#8221;During the same conversation Raghav shared that everything that happened to him after that incident was quite good. He added, &#8220;I was like, thank god, I didn&#8217;t do that film. And interestingly, that film never got made. Kaafi bade studio ki film thi. It was supposed to go on floors many a times, but it never did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Raghav Juyal on self-belief and becoming a superstar<\/p>\n<p>Up next for Raghav is &#8216;Bhai Tera Star Hai&#8217;, his first film as a solo protagonist. Looking back at his 16-year journey, he said, &#8220;Main jo bolta hoon, woh hota hai. I wouldn&#8217;t call it manifestation but kaam karne ki power&#8230; And now that I&#8217;m saying that I&#8217;ll become a superstar, I know that I&#8217;ll become a superstar. I can already feel that within me. Woh baad mein bahar reflect hoga. And it&#8217;s not my delusion that&#8217;s talking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>750 scripts after &#8216;Kill&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the response he received post &#8216;Kill&#8217;, Raghav Juyal revealed, &#8220;After &#8216;Kill&#8217;, I received some 750 scripts where I was the solo lead. I chose &#8216;Bhai Tera Star Hai&#8217;, &#8216;Ikaai&#8217; and a few others. I didn&#8217;t do any roles where I was the hero&#8217;s best friend after &#8216;The Ba***ds Of Bollywood&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More about &#8216;Bhai Tera Star Hai&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Vivek B Agarwal, the film features Raghav Juyal, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sanjay-kapoor\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sanjay Kapoor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/niharika-nm\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Niharika NM<\/a>, and Niki Wales.
