‘Kill’ Star Lakshya Defends Film’s ‘Hardcore’ Violence and Gore, Insists Movie Was Made With ‘Honesty’ and ‘Sincerity’
"Kill" star Lakshya defends the ultra-violent film, says positive reception to the movie is "divine intervention."
The level of violence in “Kill,” which premiered at TIFF in September, is brutal, bloody and graphic – so much so that marketing for the Hindi-language film includes the declaration, “India’s most violent movie ever.” Lakshya stars as an elite Army commando who boards a train to New Delhi hoping to derail his girlfriend (Tanya Maniktala) from going through with an arranged marriage planned by her parents. Written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, “Kill” will be released in theaters on July 4 by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, making it one of the first mainstream Hindi-language movies to partner with a Hollywood studio for a theatrical run in North America and the U.K. (Days after this interview with Lakshya took place, Lionsgate announced it was developing an English-language remake of “Kill” with “John Wick” director Chad Stahelski.)
