Kill is the film that came out of nowhere and has managed to make its mark in India despite the dominance of Nag Ashwin's PAN India movie, Kalki 2898 AD. The film is directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt, who has previously directed films and web series like Hurdang, Apurva, Brij Mohan Amar Rahe, Rasbhari, and The Gone Game. Interestingly, Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment have produced Nikhil Nagesh's film, Kill. While Karan Johar owns Dharma, Sikhya was established by Guneet Monga and Achin Jain.
Kill is distributed by the famous motion picture distributor company, AA Films, which is owned by Raveen Tandon's husband, Anil Thadani. The reason why so many big names were convinced to back Kill with no major superstars goes to the way the film's director, Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt has penned its story. The film has no songs, forced comedy, or unnecessary violence and solely rides on its story. Talking about Kill's cast, it has a lot of young, promising, and experienced actors like Lakshya Lalwani, Raghav Juyal, Tanya Maniktala, Ashish Vidyarthi, Harsh Chhaya, Riyaz Khan, and many more.
