For actress Bhumi Pednekar, working in Takht, a Karan Johar directorial, is nothing short of a dream as she has grown up watching and loving his movies which she feels are high on real emotions. "I think Karan's films are larger than life and aspirational yet at the same time, where the emotions are concerned, they are very real. You feel Karan's films and the emotions linger on. I'm honoured and privileged that I have the opportunity to be directed by him and I will give it my all for him," Bhumi said in a statement.

Apart from the magnum opus Takht, Bhumi will also star in his production, the newly announced horror franchise film titled Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship in which she will share screen space with Vicky Kaushal.
