Dhruv’s career evolutionEver since his debut in 'Adithya Varma', the Tamil remake of 'Arjun Reddy', Dhruv has shown an interest for intense, emotionally-driven characters.

Dhruv, if he signs on, would be stepping into a role that demands not just physical stamina, but emotional depth and restraint.About 'Kill'Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, 'Kill' is surely one of the best action flicks ever made in India. ETimes review for the movie read, "Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat goes all out in a bid to do justice to the genre.

There’s not a single dull moment even when things get repetitive. The director uses violence as a language and glorification of violence is evident, but action thrillers thrive on that so that’s not the issue. A gore fest for action lovers, you might even find beauty in the bloodshed if that’s your thing.

Despite witnessing blood spattering, swinging hammers breaking open people’s heads and more, the scene that shocks you the most is a romantic one."For fans of the genre, and of Dhruv’s evolving filmography, this could be a project worth keeping an eye on.
