Lakshya on quitting TV show for movies

On Raj Shamani’s podcast, Lakshya revealed, “After Porus ended, I got another TV show where they offered me ₹20,000– ₹25,000 per day. My father said, ‘That’s a lot of money. I’ve never seen that kind of money in my whole life. Just grab it.’ But there was a stubbornness within me. Why couldn’t I become a movie star? What do I lack? This one’s doing it, that one’s doing it, so why couldn’t I?”ALSO READ: The Ba***ds Of Bollywood Actor Lakshya On Aryan Khan’s Passion: This Guy Will Change The World

Films being shelved

Lakshya was signed for Dostana 2, which was supposed to be his debut. The actor was also confirmed for Bedhadak with Shanaya Kapoor and Gurfateh Pirzada. It got shelved. Eventually, Kill marked his debut. Reacting to his films getting shelved, Lakshya added, “I was blank. I was numb to it. I just let it happen. Luckily, I never had self-doubt. I genuinely felt nothing was set up for me. I had no plans of becoming an actor; I just happened to become one. The only thing I knew was hard work. So why should I stop doing that? That’s what’s made me. Who do I blame? God? Or Karan Johar? I can’t blame anyone, na. The film got shelved, and that’s it. For some reason, I had the self-belief that it was happening for a reason. Tables would turn one day. There wasn’t a single day throughout Covid when I didn’t work hard.”Lakshya plays the role of Aasmaan Singh, a rising superstar, in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. The second season of the Netflix series is in the making. Lakshya is currently shooting for Chaand Mera Dil with Ananya Panday.
