Preity Zinta and Hrithik Roshan’s Lakshya turned 17 today. Directed by Farhan Akhtar, Lakshya is a coming of age film where Hrithik’s protagonist finds his goal in life. The film also starred Amitabh Bachchan in pivotal role.
Farhan thanked everyone involved with the project and called it a experience of life. Sharing a montage of clips from the film, the actor-director wrote, “Forever grateful to the Indian army for supporting us and to the incredibly dedicated & tenacious cast & crew who collaborated on this life experience .. I won’t call it a film, because it’s always been more than that. Lakshya. 17 years. ❤️ .”
Preity Zinta, who played a war journalist in Lakshya also took to Instagram to remember the film. She said that it was one of the toughest film of her career and also added that it’s also a ‘love letter to all army brats’. “Remembering Lakshya today – My toughest film ever. Filming at 18000+feet in Ladakh was brutal & beautiful at the same time. I’m so proud of this film & everything it stood for. It definitely is a love letter to all the army brats out there ❤️ It’s also a reminder to never forget all those sacrifices & the unmatched bravery of our armed forces 🙏 Thank you @amitabhbachchan ji @faroutakhtar @hrithikroshan @ritesh_sid @zoieakhtar @reemakagti1 @jaduakhtar @shankarehsaanloy & the entire cast n crew for this memorable experience. #17yearsofLakshya #Memories #Jaihind #Ting,” wrote Preity Zinta.
