Lakshya joins Tiger Shroff in Dharma Productions’ action-revenge drama: Report

Lakshya and Tiger Shroff will star in new film

Bollywood actor Lakshya is riding on the success of Netflix’s The Bads of Bollywood. He has already bagged a new Dharma Productions film, creating a buzz among his fans.

According to Mid-Day, Lakshya will star alongside Tiger Shroff in the upcoming revenge drama, which has attracted a lot of interest.

Lakshya has already committed to the project, which was originally slated to be directed by Karan Johar. However, Raj Mehta is now the director.

The reports suggested that the filming is anticipated to start in November, and the project is nearing the end of its preparations.

A source close to the production told the outlet, “But this time, a revenge story is at the centre of this action offering. The film is in its final stage of prep and Raj plans to take it on floors by November."

Given that both Tiger Shroff and Lakshya have proven to be effective in action roles, their casting together is viewed as a calculated decision.

A different source informed, "It will be Tiger versus Lakshya. Both actors have shown their prowess in the action genre, and the film will benefit with them sharing screen space."

The upcoming film will also star Janhvi Kapoor in a key role.

According to industry insiders, Karan Johar announced this movie on his 50th birthday in 2022. But instead of being the director, Karan Johar will now be the producer.

The insider also addressed the production direction and noted, “Karan has set his eyes on another story now, something that is more in his zone of drama and emotions. He is confident that Raj will blend masala with big-screen action well.”

Casting and storyline are reportedly almost finished, and the project is in its last stages of preparation. The crew wants to combine big-picture action with drama, which is a feature of many of Dharma Productions' popular movies.

Expectations are high for the upcoming action drama from Dharma Productions, with filming scheduled to begin in November.
