Hansal Mehta has put the spotlight on Bollywood’s rising stars with his latest post. The filmmaker recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to counter claims that Hindi cinema is in decline due to a lack of fresh talent. Instead, he urged the industry to back emerging actors who bring something new to the table.
Hansal shared a detailed post saying that Hindi cinema needs a reset. He dismissed claims that Bollywood is failing and stated that the industry is not dying but waiting for a change. He stressed that the future lies in raw talent and strong storytelling rather than relying solely on big stars.
He also gave a shoutout to several promising newcomers, including Kill star Lakshya, Munjya actor Abhay Verma, Laapataa Ladies’ Sparsh Srivastava, Ishaan Khatter, Vedang Raina and more.
Hansal Mehta Backs Lakshya As An ‘Action Disruptor’
In his post, Hansal called him a “relentless fighter” and praised his breakout performance in Kill.
He wrote, “Lakshya – The Relentless Fighter: Lakshya stormed into cinema with Kill, a raw, unhinged performance that had the intensity of a seasoned action star. There’s a hunger in his eyes, a willingness to go beyond mere presence and truly fight for a part – both physically and emotionally. If the right filmmakers put their faith in him, he could be Hindi cinema’s next great action disruptor.”
Lakshya made his big-screen debut with Kill, an intense action thriller produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film impressed audiences with its brutal fight sequences and high-energy storytelling.
