Chand Mera Dil: Ananya Panday And Lakshya To Star In Karan Johar’s Romantic Drama

Lakshya made his first move into Bollywood in 2019 when he signed a three-film deal with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. His debut was supposed to be in the highly-anticipated ‘Dostana 2’, alongside Kartik Aaryan and Janhvi Kapoor, but we all know how that turned out.

Later, he was cast in ‘Bedhadak’ with newcomer Shanaya Kapoor, but that project also got shelved. However, Lakshya’s fortunes changed dramatically when he finally made his debut this year with ‘Kill’, a blockbuster hit that proved to be worth the wait. Although his on-screen pairing with Shanaya didn’t come to fruition, he is now set to star opposite her childhood best friend, Ananya Panday.
