Juyal, known for his unique dance style and comedic timing, confessed, "I was very skeptical when I was offered 'The Bads of Bollywood' in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with him," Juyal remarked, highlighting Aryan's professionalism on set.

The shooting experience at Mannat was, for Raghav, a dream come true.

He recounted having an exceptional time, soaking in the unique atmosphere while bringing his character to life under Aryan’s guidance. Shah Rukh Khan himself made a brief appearance on set, adding to the surreal experience. "SRK sir came for a little while, and it was great to be there," Raghav shared, emphasizing the overall positive and creatively stimulating environment.

Raghav Juyal's candid insights offer a fascinating glimpse into the making of 'Stardom', painting a picture of a young director who, despite his lineage, is forging his own path with dedication and a clear artistic voice, earning the respect of his collaborators along the way.
