It has been 17 years since filmmaker Farhan Akhtar`s `Lakshya` hit the screens. The actor-director on Friday expressed gratitude to the Indian Army for their help during the making of the film, which marked his second directorial venture after his blockbuster debut `Dil Chahta Hai`. Akhtar, who shot the major portions of the second half of the film in Ladakh, said working on the project was a lifetime experience. He also mentioned that Lakshya has always been more than just a film to him.
A fiction, with the 1999 Kargil War at its backdrop, `Lakshya` revolves around an aimless young man Karan Shergill (played by Hrithik Roshan), who joins the Indian Army and matures into a battlefield hero.
