Career
Lakshya began his acting career in 2015 with the television series Warrior High, a teen drama that gave him his first on-set experience. He followed this with roles in Adhuri Kahaani Hamari (2015–2016) and Pardes Mein Hai Meraa Dil, gradually gaining recognition.
His major television breakthrough came with Sony TV’s Porus (2017–2018), one of India’s most expensive television productions, where he played the titular warrior. The physically and emotionally demanding role taught him patience and focus, preparing him for cinema.
During this period, he turned down a television offer worth Rs 25,000 per day to pursue his Bollywood dream.
In 2019, Lakshya signed a three-film deal with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. His official film debut was announced with Dostana 2 alongside Kartik Aaryan, but the project was shelved due to production delays. Another project, Bedhadak, was also cancelled. Undeterred, he continued training and auditioning.
His actual film debut came with Kill (2023), an action film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness section. The film received critical acclaim for its intense action sequences, and Lakshya’s performance was widely praised.
Following Kill, he starred in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba*ds of Bollywood (2025), on Netflix, which became a trending success. He has since been cast in the romantic drama Chand Mera Dil opposite Ananya Panday, scheduled for release in 2025. His impact is marked by a dedicated transition from television to film, influencing aspiring actors to persevere through project cancellations.
