There's a certain feeling that if I work honestly and work hard, my effort will be recognised and it should succeed. "He added, "In my life I'd never worked harder on anything than I'd worked on Lakshya. There was a overdose of Pakistani based themes and patriotic films at that time. Both are equally as challenging, so for me, when for the first time I faced, not creative failure but when I faced box office failure, it was post Lakshya, because Lakshya didn't do well at the box office. I reminded him of Lakshya too.".įarhan Akhtar later stated "The biggest challenge for any person in the industry is to deal with failure that you know is a big one, then immediately and very close on its heels is dealing with success, it's the other one.

I thought now whoever will read it will take me as a liar, since I work in a medium which has lie as its base - we have fake son, fake mother, fake relationships, fake stories. If the news wasn't out, I wouldn't have felt so much pressure. My agony doubled, not because I have been edited out, but because this news had already been published in the newspaper. The entire film got over and I was nowhere to be seen. Then I went to watch Lakshya at Ashok cinema hall there along with my wife. Next day news was out in the Hindustan newspaper in Patna with the headline "Lakshya mein dikhega Bihar ka laal" along with a small picture of mine. I told him about my role and about my scenes with Hrithik (Roshan). While talking to one of my media friends there, I randomly mentioned that I am a part of it. Before the release of the film, I was in Patna. I visited Leh-Laddakh for the first time during its shooting only. I was cast for the role of a character named Subedar Kuldeep Singh. In fact, the first time I gave an audition was for Lakshya. Pankaj Tripathi stated " I also did Lakshya, again around the same time.
