Actor Raghav Juyal is gearing up for the release of ' Bhai Tera Star Hai ', which also marks his first film as a solo lead. Ahead of its theatrical release, the actor spoke about the project and revealed that he hopes the comedy entertainer reminds audiences of the light-hearted humour Govinda popularised in the 1990s. The film, directed by Vivek B. Agrawal, promises a blend of comedy, confusion and entertaining situations.

Raghav Juyal opens up about Ajay Singh 's character in ‘Bhai Tera Star Hai’

During an interaction with IANS, Raghav shared details about the character he portrays in the film. He revealed that Ajay Singh dreams of becoming a successful movie star. However, his confidence far exceeds his acting abilities, leading him into one hilarious situation after another. Describing the role, Raghav said, "I am excited about Ajay Singh’s character in Bhai Tera Star Hai because he considers himself a very big, talented actor. He thinks he will become a huge superstar, but in reality, he does terrible acting. While trying to prove himself through his bad performances, he keeps getting into trouble. There is chaos throughout the film, and he eventually finds himself in a situation where he has to return the money of a powerful don."

According to the actor, the character's misplaced confidence and the unpredictable events that follow form the backbone of the film's humour.

Raghav Juyal on how Govinda's comedy inspired ‘Bhai Tera Star Hai’

Raghav also explained that one of his biggest goals was to recreate the kind of carefree comedy that audiences enjoyed in Govinda's films. He said today's viewers rarely get to watch such family-friendly entertainers that focus purely on making people laugh.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, he said, "Through this comedy, I wanted to bring back the kind of humor we saw in Govinda’s films something for my parents and for boys and girls from small cities. A film where people can laugh freely, laugh wholeheartedly, and enjoy themselves without holding back." Govinda became one of Bollywood 's biggest comedy stars through his impeccable comic timing, energetic performances and memorable characters. His films continue to enjoy a loyal fan following even today.
