'DINAKAR THOOGUDEEPA INITIALLY WANTED TO CAST ME IN NAVAGRAHA'
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|January 16, 2025
CTOR Raghu Mukherjee, known for his memorable role in Savari, has carved a niche for himself with his versatility. His previous outing in a negative role in Inspector Vikram, starring Prajwal Devaraj, caught the attention of Dinakar Thoogudeepa, leading to an intriguing collaboration for their latest film, Royal, starring Viraat and Sanjana, which is slated for release on January 24.
When asked if playing antagonists marks a new phase for him, Raghu quips, "Please don't label me as a villain. My next film has me playing a hero. I took on the antagonist role in Royal because the story demanded it. It's not about being a conventional villain—it's about being part of a well-written narrative. The character in Royal isn't your typical negative shade; it's nuanced, and that's what drew me to it. Besides, Dinu (Dinakar) is an old friend, which made this even more special."
