Chand Mera Dil Subhash K Jha Riding on the visibility he gained from Bads of Bollywood, Lakshya is stepping into a more introspective space with his upcoming film Chand Mera Dil. The film marks a turning point — less spectacle, more emotional depth. In this candid chat, he reflects on his journey. Chand Mera Dil releases on May 22, almost a month after your birthday. How did this birthday feel? This one felt different. There was a quiet confidence rather than celebration. It wasn’t about the day itself, but where I stand right now. With Chand Mera Dil releasing so close to it, it feels like the start of a new phase — almost a reset, but one I’ve worked towards. What are the USPs of the film? At its core, it’s an honest love story. It doesn’t try to be loud or over-stylised. Its strength lies in simplicity and emotional truth. The characters feel real, relationships are layered, and the storytelling is intimate. It’s grounded, yet still cinematic. Are you a romantic at heart? I think I am, just not in an obvious way. I’m not overly expressive, but I feel deeply. For me, romance lies in the details — consistency, showing up, the quiet moments. This film helped me understand that side of myself better. You’ve done action and now a romance. Which do you prefer? Both excite me, but differently. Action brings adrenaline and a physical high, while drama demands vul- nerability. Right now, I’m drawn to roles that explore emotional depth — stories that stay with the audience. How did Bads... impact your career? It gave me visibility and credibility. People began to see me beyond potential and recognise what I could deliver. The conversations changed — there was more trust and better opportunities,. You began with a Karan Johar production and now return to one. What is that like? Working with him is a masterclass. He has a sharp instinct for storytelling and performance. What stands out is how invested he is — not just in the film, but in you. He pushes you while making you feel secure enough to take risks.
