Lakshya meaning the aim, focuses on the life and times of Karan Shergill (Hrithik Roshan).
Priety Zinta

Brought up in a rich family, Karan has no worries about the future. But then again why should he? After all, he has no aims or personal goals in life.

The only stable person in his life is Romilla Dutta (Priety Zinta), a bright and ambitious young journalist.

She is in love with Karan and always believes that one day he will find his purpose in life.

And that day soon comes when Karan embarks on a journey of self discovery which tests him physically, mentally and emotionally.

Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik Roshan as Shergill

He gradually transforms from a carefree young boy to a cadet who eventually gets promoted to an army officer.

The 1999 Kargil conflict forms the backdrop for this movie where Operation Vijay is depicted with great realism. The character played by Hrithik Roshan is based purely on fiction.

Hrithik will adorn three different looks by sporting different hairstyles in this film. Already riding high after the box hit of Koi Mil Gaya, Hrithik will further affirm his position in Bollywood upon the film's release.

Hrithik
A scene from the film Lakshya

As for Amitabh Bachchan, he heads an all star cast in Lakshya which is set to redefine Bollywood filmmaking.

Lakshya sees the comeback of Javed Akhtar as a script writer after a 15 year gap.

Filmed on locations including Dehradun, Delhi, Leh and Ladakh, Lakshya is director Faran Akhtar's second movie after Dil Chahta Hai.

A June release is planned for this movie.
