Lakshya Lalwani has made his acting debut with Dharma Production’s Kill and he’s wowed the audience who have already watched him on the big screen. Talking about his performance, Bollywood Bubble wrote in their review, “Lakshya has delivered an outstanding performance as Amrit in Kill. Lakshya as Amrit is more of a man of action than words and that’s clearly seen in his reliance on conveying his emotions – mainly rage, through his physicality and not dialogues. The actor’s portrayal is compelling and convincing as he embodies the character’s transformation with intensity.”
