Career
In 2015, Lakshya made his acting debut with television series Warrior High. He went on to play Yuvraj Madhav Shekhawat/Krish in the &TV series Adhuri Kahaani Hamari (2015–2016).

Lakshya began expanding to Hindi cinema after Karan Johar's studio Dharma Productions signed him for a three-film contract. He was scheduled to debut with Johar's production Dostana 2, which began filming in November 2019, but it was permanently shelved mid-way. He was also announced to star alongside Shanaya Kapoor and Gurfateh Pirzada in Johar and Shashank Khaitan's romantic drama Bedhadak, but that film too was shelved.

Lakshya had his first film release in Dharma Productions' Kill, an action film, which premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was theatrically released the following year. He played Amrit, a stoic army man who has to fight off dacoits in a running train. Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail wrote that he "conjures the hero with frightening ferocity".

Lakshya will next star in Stardom, a streaming series created by Aryan Khan.
