During the interview, Raghav said, “Portraying such a dark and intense character in Yudhra was a unique experience for me. I had to push my own boundaries. I engaged in behaviour that was far from my usual self. This process was intense and, at times, unsettling. After we wrapped up the shoot, I realised how much the role had impacted me on a psychological level. I felt an overwhelming need to disconnect and heal.”

He went on to add, “My family noticed the change in my behaviour and was concerned. It made me realise how deeply I had immersed myself in the character. This was the first time I attempted a role like this, even though I had done Kill. It was a challenging but rewarding experience.”

Yudhra stars Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead role. It is his first solo lead release. The film, directed by Ravi Udyawar, also stars Malavika Mohanan, Gajraj Rao, Ram Kapoor, and Raj Arjun. It is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Sudha Anukta.
