Karan Johar’s Lavish Costume Drama To take  Off After Brahmastra  Release

For those who have been perpetually writing off Takht, Karan Johar’s lavish  costume drama set  in the Mughal dynasty  here is news: Karan intends to get into Takht as soon as Karan Johar’s most expensive  project till date   Brahmastra  is  released in September  this year.

  Takht has been  in creative and financial trouble ever  since  it was announced  in August 2019.The  project has  come under a cloud over and  over again.  The pandemic pushed back what Karan Johar describes as his “passion project”.

But now the problems  are  somewhat  different. Apparently the Takht screenwriter Sumit Roy has been  asked to tweak and modulate some  of  the more controversial portions of  the  script,keeping in mind the  political environment of the country.

Says a source in the  know,  “It is  about the Mughal dynasty and  this is not the  right time to make  a film on that subject. However  Karan Johar is determined to surmount the hurdles and  make Takht.”
It stars  Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and  Vicky Kaushal. Some  of  the casting will undergo a change  by the  time the official announcement  about the commencement  of the long-delayed  project is  made.
