Farhan Akhtar as a director has given us some memorable movies. Be it ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Lakshya’ or two parts of ‘Don’, each of his film was loved by the audience. Today his highly acclaimed movie ‘Lakshya’ completes 16 years of its release and the actor remembers the film with a special post.

The ‘Rock On’ actor shared a tweet , “Kandhe Se Milte Hain Kandhe, Kadamo Se Kadam milte Hai, Hum Chalte Hain Jab Aise Toh Dil Dushman Ke Hilte Hai – 16 years of Lakshya… an experience that’s much more than a film to me and all who created it. Respect & gratitude to the Indian Army for their inspiration and their support.”

कन्धों से मिलते हैं कन्धे
क़दमों से क़दम मिलते हैं
हम चलते हैं जब ऐसे तो
दिल दुश्मन के हिलते हैं
