Karan Johar's magnum opus Takht boasts of A-listers like Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, so do we need to say anymore? Guess, now you know why fans are waiting for this film with bated breath. Which goes without saying that every single update related to this automatically excites the fans and here comes one for you, peeps. After the debacle of Kalank, it was reported that Takht has been postponed since Karan wanted to rework on the script.
However, the latest buzz in the Mumbai Mirror report, the filmmaker is all set to don his director hat now as the shooting of Takht will kick-start in February 2020. Not just this, it is reported KJo is pulling out all the stops so that he doesn’t go wrong with Takht, unlike Kalank. Therefore, the filmmaker will be hosting acting workshops for the cast with diction and body languages so that they can get into the skin of their characters.
An incredible story embedded in history...

A source was quoted saying, "The film kicks off in February with a start-to-finish schedule. Being a period film, the technical team is presently focused on the sets and locations and the script while also deciding on the diction and mannerisms of the characters. Work on the visual effects will take place simultaneously with the shoot so the film is ready on time."
The report also suggested that everyone in the film has a different look. Anil Kapoor has to put on weight, while Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal are expected to look leaner.
