Trivia

1. The highest crane shot ever done for a feature film was done on 13 October 2003 with a 24ft Giraffe crane at 17.796 ft above the Tanglangla Pass (17582 ft) in Ladakh, India.
2. When Director Farhan Akhtar went back to Indian Military Academy after 15 years. 70% of the gentlemen cadets told him, they joined Indian Military Academy after watching Lakshya.
3. The vast majority of the non-speaking Army roles in the film were filled by real-life soldiers of the 13th Battalion, The Punjab Regiment. (In the film, the unit portrayed is 3rd Battalion, The Punjab Regiment.)
4.'Javed Akhtar' returns to scriptwriting in this movie after more than 14 years. Main Azaad Hoon (1989) had been the last movie which he wrote.
5. The Drill Instructor at IMA, Subedar Srivardan, is a real-life instructor who served in the senior-most/elite infantry unit in the Indian Army: The Brigade of the Guards.
6. This film portrays a fictionalized account of the actions of 3 Punjab. As the film shows, 3 Punjab was based in Kargil and was among the first of the units to detect the Pakistani intrusion across the Line of Control; however, they did not capture "Peak 5179" or any other peak. Much of the on-screen unit's actions are inspired by the actions of various other battalions during the conflict. As the film credits the story as fiction based on fact and is largely truthful to the overall situation, the Army officially endorsed and approved the film.
7. When Hrithik Roshan was asked if there was anything about this movie that he would have changed, he answered that, in the second half, he would have changed Preity Zinta's hair, which he found to be awful.
8.Arjun Rampal was offered the role of Jalal Akbar.
9. The last time two legends Amrish Puri and Amitabh Bachchan acted opposite each other.
10. In the flashback scenes Hrithik Roshan is wearing a wig, although he first claimed in interviews that it was his hair and got away with it.
11. Aamir Khan was offered the lead role but turned it down for Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005)
12. Farhan Akhtar gave a completely new look to his lead actors Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Preity Zinta.
13. Amar Singh managed to get to the television channel office where Preity Zinta's character works in the film, the actual Sahara newsroom in Delhi. The entire space was vacated within a day's notice. The makers didn't have to pay anything for it, thanks to Amar Singh and Sahara, which is why Sahara and Amar Singh were thanked in the opening credits.
14. The first movie to have Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar working together. They would later work together onscreen in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara 2011.
15. Pankaj Tripathi stated " I also did Lakshya, again around the same tiThe the first time I gave an audition was for Lakshya. I was cast for the role of a character named Subedar Kuldeep Singh. I visited Leh-Laddakh for the first time during its shooting only. Before the release of the film, I was in Patna. While talking to one of my media friends there, I randomly mentioned that I am a part of it. He got excited and asfor ked more details. I told him about my role in my scenes with Hrithik (RoshaThe next day news was out in the Hindustan newspaper in Patna with the headline "Lakshya mein dikhega Bihar ka laal" along with a small picture of mine. Then I went to watch Lakshya at Ashok cinema hall there along with my wife. The entire film got over and I was nowhere to be seen. My agony doubled, not because I have been edited out, but because this news had already been published in the newspaper. I was so tensed up. If the news wasn't out, I wouldn't have felt so much pressure. I thought now whoever will read it will take me as a car since I work in a medium which lain lie as its base - we have fake son, fake mother, fake relationships, fake stories... But I try my best to make it look real. I never asked Farhan Akhtar about it. While working on Super 30, Hrithik and I did have a small chat on it. Hrithik asked me whether Super 30 was our second film or the third one. He only remembered Agneepath. I reminded him of Lakshya too.".
