Raghav Juyal has had a remarkable few years. Kill introduced him to a whole new audience as one of the most menacing screen presences in recent Hindi cinema.
The Bads of Bollywood kept that momentum going. Now, with Bhai Tera Star Hai, he pivots completely — and the trailer suggests this pivot might be his most entertaining move yet. The film releases in theatres on July 30, 2026. The trailer is out, and it’s already making people laugh.
What the Trailer Shows
The trailer opens with a line that immediately sets the tone.
“An actor’s biggest talent is believing his own bullsht.”
Right there, in the first ten seconds, the film announces exactly what kind of comedy it’s going for — sharp, self-aware, and completely unafraid to poke fun at the absurdity of the Bollywood dream.
Raghav plays Ajay Singh, a struggling actor stumbling from one crisis to the next, convinced that his big break is always just around the corner. His life is messy, his plans keep falling apart, and his decision-making is consistently questionable — but he never stops believing in himself, which is both his greatest strength and his most endearing quality.
One of the standout moments in the trailer involves Ajay explaining a particularly chaotic scheme to arrange money. His girlfriend has told her brother she’s pregnant. He has told his girlfriend that his sister is pregnant. Together, they are using both brothers’ protective instincts to pool together funds for an abortion that doesn’t exist. The matter-of-fact delivery with which Raghav explains this plan is genuinely hilarious, and it gives you an immediate sense of the register this film is operating in.
The Salman Khan Thread
The emotional core of Ajay Singh’s ambition — if you can call it that — is landing a role in a Salman Khan film.
That dream drives a lot of the comedy, and the trailer uses it brilliantly. In one scene, Ajay excitedly announces that he has auditioned for a film in the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan universe — specifically for the role of Bhaijaan’s brother. The casualness with which he describes this as a significant career milestone says everything about where his head is.
The film takes a playful, affectionate dig at that entire corner of Bollywood without ever becoming mean-spirited about it. It’s the kind of self-referential humour that works precisely because it comes from a place of genuine familiarity with the industry it’s poking fun at.
The Viral Rumour — Explained
If you’ve been following Raghav Juyal on social media over the past few months, you might have come across romantic photos of him with influencer and actress Niharika NM that sparked dating rumours across the internet.
The trailer puts those rumours to rest in the best possible way — revealing that the photos were entirely part of the film’s promotional campaign. It’s a clever bit of meta-marketing that blurs the line between real life and fiction, and it generated exactly the kind of organic attention the film was hoping for.

The Cast and Crew
Alongside Raghav Juyal and Niharika NM, the film features Sanjay Kapoor, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Niki Aneja Walia, Vikalp Mehta, Barkha Singh, Vivan Bhatena, Tina Desai, and Parvathy Omanakuttan in key roles.
The film is directed by Vivek B. Agrawal and written by Sudipto Sarkar and Vivek B. Agrawal.
Raghav himself has spoken about the character with clear enthusiasm. “Ajay Singh is dramatic, unpredictable, unapologetically over the top, and endlessly entertaining,” he said in a statement, adding that he had an absolute blast bringing him to life.
That energy comes through in every second of the trailer.
