What else do we know about the upcoming actor?

Lakshya has signed a four-film deal with Dharma Productions, which includes feature films and digital content as well. Even before his debut was announced, Lakshya was revealed to be the third lead in Dostana 2, a follow-up of the hit film Dostana. 

"He was chosen after a series of meticulous auditions and test shoots. We are thrilled to engulf him in our creative world and look forward to creating celluloid magic together," producer Karan Johar once told Bombay Times.

In an interview with Tellychakkar, Lakshay had shared that he had once auditioned for MTV Roadies, but instead of landing a place on the reality show, he was offered a role in a daily soap.

In the same interview, the actor had said that he never planned on becoming an actor but wanted to join the Indian Army. "But after coming to this industry, I started enjoying acting and that’s the reason I am still a part of it," he had added.
