Bhubaneswar, July 22 (newsalert24x7): Actor and dancer Raghav Juyal, who earned widespread acclaim for his intense performance in Kill, has described working alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming action thriller 'King' as a "dream-level experience."

Speaking in an exclusive interview with IANS, Juyal candidly shared that his very first scene opposite the King of Bollywood left him completely starstruck, causing him to temporarily forget his lines.

"How Do I Give an Answer to Shah Rukh Khan?"

Recalling the surreal moment on set, Juyal revealed how his childhood memories of watching SRK films in single-screen theatres came rushing back the second the cameras began rolling.

"It's a very dream-level experience. I can't tell you in words. When I was shooting for the first time and the camera was being set up, Shah Rukh sir was there, and I was there. When he said the dialogue for the first time, I forgot my dialogue," Juyal shared.
"Because you remember your childhood... how you used to watch his films 5-6 times in a single-screen cinema. He is saying the dialogue to you, and you have to give the answer. I thought, 'How do I give the answer to Shah Rukh Khan?' It felt like that. But then I controlled myself and said, 'Do it well.' It is surreal and dreamy."

Locked as a Principal Antagonist

Directed by blockbuster filmmaker Siddharth Anand, King is being mounted on a massive scale. According to industry reports:

  • The Role: Raghav Juyal reportedly plays a key antagonist in the action thriller, portraying the son of Jackie Shroff's character.
  • The Conflict: His character is set to clash directly with a younger version of Shah Rukh Khan’s character in high-octane sequences.

A Powerhouse Star Cast

King features an ensemble cast including Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Rani Mukerji, and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film is locked for a grand festive release in theatres on December 24, 2026.

Meanwhile, Juyal is gearing up for his immediate next theatrical release, the comedy-drama 'Bhai Tera Star Hai', co-starring Niharika NM, Sanjay Kapoor, and Barkha Singh, scheduled to hit screens on July 30.
