Takht


Talking about Takht, this film marks the 47-year old's first historical project as a director. His last outing was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016), which featured Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma in the main lead. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan made a special appearance in this film.

There were also reports of Karan Johar reworking on Takht, courtesy, Kalank's failure. Karan Johar's last film as a producer, Kalank, was one of the most-anticipated films of 2019. However, the film, starring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, and Madhuri Dixit failed to entertain the audience.

According to a report in cineblitz, Karan Johar is reworking on Takht's story and doesn't want to take any chance. Speaking about it, a source informed the website saying, "Kalank's shortcomings have been identified and Karan Johar is working double hard to makeTakht a massive hit. He is going to make it simpler, in terms of dialogues and actions. Some people could not resonate with complex writing and he wants the film to resonate with the audience like Jodha Akbar did. So, he might use the same formula for the dialogues of the movie."

The report also states that Karan Johar is in the final stage of drafting the script and is hunting places to shoot the film. Karan Johar wants to take no chance and wants to keep everything perfect for Takht. Kalank was the first-period film by Dharma Productions owned by Karan Johar.
