Laksh Lalwani (born 19 April 1996) is an Indian actor. In 2015, Lakshya made his acting debut with the television series Warrior High. He played the titular warrior in the period drama series Porus (2017–2018). Two films he was cast in were shelved due to production issues which raised doubts to himself whether he wanted to continue acting. He had a breakout performance in the Dharma Productions' action film Kill (2023). It premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was theatrically released the following year to largely positive reviews, emerging as his breakthrough role. This earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He has since starred as an aspiring actor in the satirical drama series The Ba***ds of Bollywood for Netflix.
Season 1 — "The Kingdom Begins" Josian emerges in the Lowside. His early miracles (healing a paralyzed man at a free clinic, restoring sight during a street confrontation, turning a near-empty food pantry into a feast for hundreds). He assembles the Twelve. John Rivers baptizes him publicly in the industrial canal. The Sanhedron Council begins watching. John Rivers is arrested. Josian weeps publicly. Season 2 — "The Plot Thickens" Josian's movement goes city-wide. The resurrection of Lazarus Wade triggers political crisis. Josian's triumphant walk through the Crossroads (modern Palm Sunday — thousands flooding the street, coats thrown down). The Last Supper — filmed in real time, in one restaurant, over two full episodes. Josian washes feet. Judas leaves. The garden scene in the city park at 3 AM. Arrest. Trial before Kaiaphas. Caius Pontiff on live television. The sentence. Season 3 — "Death & What Comes After" The execution (filmed with unflinching restraint — not exploitation, but weight). The three days. Magdalena at the tomb at dawn. The appearances. Thomas's moment. The ascension from a rooftop as the sun rises over New Elysia — Josian stepping backward off the edge of a building and simply not falling, rising, gone. Final scene: the Twelve and Magdalena, terrified and electric, beginning to move.
