Two months after its theatrical release, India’s deadliest and most violent action thriller, Kill is now all set for its OTT release. The film, which was widely loved for its blood, high-octane action, and power-packed fight sequences, will stream on Disney+ Hotstar on September 6, 2024. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the film stars Lakshay, Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala in key roles.
Talking about Kill’s OTT release, writer and director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat said, “Seeing Kill transition from a successful theatrical run to now preparing to release on Disney+ Hotstar is incredibly exciting for me. I was inspired to write the story for Kill from a personal experience dating back to around 1994-95, that shook me forever. Hence, making Kill as raw as possible was really important for me to translate my true emotions. Kill wouldn’t have been possible without Lakshya’s raw skills, Raghav’s professional approach and the entire team’s unflinching support! I am really glad how the audiences connected with it, and with its release on Disney+ Hotstar, I hope a larger audience gets a chance to indulge and experience the film.”
Debutant Lakshya also expressed excitement and added, “I am extremely grateful for the love I have received through this movie. For my character Amrit, I went through a very strict fitness regime. There were times I went beyond my limits to adapt to the role. Nikhil sir has truly been a guiding force throughout the process and I consider him to be my biggest mentor. After exploring the action genre I cannot wait to try on different roles! With the film now releasing on Disney+ Hotstar, I am looking forward to a larger audience to enjoy this deadly action and bloodshed.”
Raghav Juyal recalled working on Kill and shared that it was ‘fun’. He also called Kill his career-changing film and added, “With Kill, I got a chance to tell the world that I can act too, and playing a negative role is always a big responsibility that requires immense conviction. Lakshya and I did a lot of physical training together for this one, which really improved our bond off-screen as well. The best thing I find about my character Fani in the film is his twisted humour and sarcasm. Preparing for this role mentally was more crucial than physically, as Fani is a clever lad, and he brings in the thrill in the film. With the film set to stream on Disney+ Hotstar, I hope more audiences are able to watch it and love it as much as we did while making it!”
Kill is produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain under Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. It was released in theatres on July 5, 2024, and had earned Rs 21 crore at the Indian box office.
