In an interview, Johar said that he wanted to launch Lakshya with Kill as a gentle reminder to people who call him the 'nepo mafia.' He said that the film is a very expensive production that is entirely mounted on Lakshya, and that Dharma Productions has put all of its money and risk into it. Johar also said that Lakshya went through auditions to bag the role and worked hard for it.
