"'Kill' - an action-packed high-octane film starring Lakshya Lalwani - the next action hero to look out for. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the film will premiere at Midnight Madness at TIFF 2023," the post read.
Laksh Lalwani, also known as Laksh, is a TV actor of 'Porus' fame. 'Porus' is considered to be the most expensive Indian historical TV show. Tanya Maniktala of 'A Suitable Boy' fame and TV presenter and choreographer Raghav Juyal round out the cast of "Kill".
