Most actors hear about their big break in an office or after a nerve-wracking call. For Lakshya Lalwani, it came casually at a Dubai party, when debutant director and Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan told him he had been cast in The Ba**ds of Bollywood. The actor admits the moment “changed his life” – and he couldn’t believe how lightly Aryan broke the news.
“You’re Going To Change My Life”
Recalling the conversation, Lakshya said, “I was on holiday in Dubai and Aryan got to know that I was in Dubai and he was also in Dubai at that time. So, he invited me for a party and told me, ‘Aaja raat ko party karte hai achha tu show kar raha hai haan.’ I was like you are telling this so casually to me, you are going to change my life.”
Bobby Deol On Aryan’s Conviction
Bobby Deol revealed that Aryan had impressed him long before the cameras rolled. “I saw something in him, even before he asked me to play the role. I could see he has so much fire and determination to achieve something in life,” he said.
He also recalled Aryan’s marathon narration of the show: “Aryan insisted that he narrates me the whole storyline which is seven episodes. So I sat with him for almost 7 hours and I was taken by his conviction. I realise that this kid is going to make something special.”
Raghav Juyal On Aryan’s Dedication
Raghav Juyal remembered Aryan personally acting out scenes to get the tone right. “Even during slap scenes, he would slap himself to show how to do it,” he revealed. Juyal also joked, “Whole Mumbai, whole Aaram Nagar gave audition for this show.”
