Red Sea IFF 2023! Karan Johar, Guneet Monga, Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt speak about their film ‘KILL’

At the Red Sea International Film Festival 2023, the team of the upcoming thriller Kill that stars Laksh Lalwani, Tanya Maniktala, Raghav Juyal that is co-produced by Karan Johar and the Oscar-winning Guneet Monga, and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, interacted with the media about their promising film.

In response to an exclusive question by Firstpost on the casting of the film, the director said, “There was an entire audition process that happened for six months because it’s a huge cast. The goons you see in the film are not just doing action, the second half of the film is their story and they had to emote a lot. This entire process took six months since there are about 40-43 people.”

Monga added, “There’s Anmol Ahuja from Casting Bay who’s the casting director. The audiences around the world, when they saw the film, there’s some really beautiful stuff written about it. As an audience, you’re figuring whose story it is and what we are figuring and that is also family.”

More about the film

Before French actor Omar Sy was known as Lupin around the world, he won hearts in the critically and commercially acclaimed French Buddy-Comedy, The Intouchables – a story of two grown men coming together from starkly different backgrounds to help each other overcome different aspects of their life holding them back.

An instant classic, The Intouchables has found a new home with its Hindi adaptation being kicked off by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga Kapoor, the visionary producers behind the massively successful and critically acclaimed film KILL. Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment have once again united their creative forces to bring this iconic French film to the Indian audiences. This marks the fourth collaboration between the two filmmaking powerhouses, following the incredible success of their maiden production, KILL, which made waves following its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month.
