Raghav Juyal's energy reshaped his character in 'The Paradise'

Mumbai, Sept. 15 -- Raghav Juyal's casting in Nani-starrer "The Paradise" had an impact beyond simply filling the role, with director Srikanth Odela rewriting parts of the character after seeing the actor's natural energy on screen.

Odela said he was impressed by Raghav's screen presence, forcing him to make changes to the character's writing.

The filmmaker explained that the search for the right actor for the role lasted approximately eight months. He was looking for someone lean, lithe, calm, stylish, and who could easily slip into the role, while also possessing a villainous demeanour. During this time, an assistant director showed him a photograph of Juyal and he immediately recognised him as the perfect fit for the role.
