Corona Virus Impact: Karan Johar’s Takht , Dostana 2 May be Dropped

The  Corona Virus  is  bound to have  far-reaching repercussions on the  entire Indian  film industry. One hears  from  very reliable sources that Karan Johar’s  Dharma  Productions may drop two of their most prestigious  products from their 2020-21  anvil.

The Karan  Johar-directed historical Mughal   costume drama Takht  featuring an array  of stars  like Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt is now  a project in the ‘red’ zone.

Says a  source, “Takht was  already an endangered project,  what with controversies regarding its content and  the scriptwriter being  accused of a communal tweet. Still,  Karan may have gone ahead  with it. But now with the  viral situation , Takht is strictly a no-can-do project  for all concerned.”

 That’s not all. Dharma Production,  which closed its office temporarily this week,may also have to re-think , restructure and even  drop some of  their other projects  like Dostana 2 and  the Deepika Padukone-Sidhant Chaturvedi starrer that was recently announced.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala  on the  other hand  will continue his production plans as  per schedule.

Nadiadwala’s Heropanti 2 is expected to start shooting in July 2020.
