Yudhra is described as an adrenaline-pumping story that combines elements of action, romance, and drama, exploring the depths of a lover’s fury.
Farhan Akhtar, who co-produces the film alongside Ritesh Sidhwani, has taken an active role in the creative process. He has co-written the film’s dialogues with Akshat Ghildial, bringing his signature flair to the script. Adding to the film’s powerful narrative, legendary lyricist Javed Akhtar contributes to the soundtrack, with music composed by the acclaimed trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy, ensuring that Yudhra is not just visually compelling but also aurally impactful. Directed by Ravi Udyawar, who garnered acclaim for his work on Mom, the movie is expected to take audiences on an exciting and emotionally charged ride. The film also features Kill actor Raghav Juyal in a prominent role, adding more depth to the cast.
As the release date approaches, the excitement surrounding Yudhra continues to build, especially with Siddhant Chaturvedi’s growing popularity.
