Raghav Juyal says director Nitesh Tiwari told him to embody an “evil intensity” and “fire” through his expressions as Meghnad in Ramayana: Part 2. In interviews, Juyal describes being excited for the role and says he keeps most character details private, calling his approach a personal process and one he plans to discuss only with Tiwari for now.
The outlets also describe the context for the role. Variety India is cited in Free Press Journal as the source of Juyal’s comments, including that Tiwari briefed Meghnad as an extremely powerful warrior like Ravana who helped bring the war to a standstill. Free Press Journal and Times of India further link the performance to elements of the story such as Meghnad’s use of illusion and an encounter with Lakshman during the Battle of Lanka.
Across coverage, the main differences are how much plot and character specifics each outlet emphasizes. Some focus mainly on Juyal’s “fire in my eyes” framing and his refusal to reveal details, while Times of India adds more about confrontations and powers tied to Meghnad.
