Facts/Trivia
- Working on the film Ek Tha Tiger provided Lakshya with valuable experience in understanding how action films are made.
- In an interview, he talked about working with John Abraham and said,
I’ve known John since my first film, when I was an ad in the film ‘New York.’ What makes it really special with John is that he’s both actor and producer in this film, the germ of the idea we had in a room together. Working with him is not like a directorial actor, it is like we are a team. Our main point is to get amazing action sequences, shoot it at a high level and give the audience a chance to tell the story. Had to give a new way.”
- In 2022, he promoted his film Attack on The Kapil Sharma Show.
