Hyderabad, Sep 22: Actor and dancer Raghav Juyal is set to make his official Tollywood debut with Nani-starrer The Paradise, and his energetic dance performance at the film's recent pre-release event has grabbed attention online.
Raghav joined celebrity anchor Suma Kanakala on stage for an impromptu dance performance that drew loud cheers from the audience. Suma invited Raghav to dance to Aaya Sher, with the duo's performance receiving widespread attention on social media.
Raghav also performed his signature slow-motion walk at the event, further entertaining the audience. Suma praised his dancing skills as the two took over the stage.
Later, when Yeshanagula from The Paradise began playing, Raghav returned to the stage and invited Suma to join him. Their spontaneous performance quickly went viral.
Nani also praised Raghav during the event, describing him as a highly talented entertainer who brought immense energy to the film. Nani said Raghav had exceeded the intensity he displayed in Kill and praised the actor's attention to small details in his performance.
“I think he is a fantastic talent, and I am very, very confident that he will be one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. And I’ll always be rooting for you, Raghav. You have a brother here in Hyderabad, you know that,” Nani said.
The Paradise is a period action drama directed by Srikanth Odela and marks his second collaboration with Nani after their 2023 blockbuster Dasara.
