Karan
Johar
will
be
donning
the
directorial
hat
after
a
long
gap
for
his
ambitious
period-drama,
'Takht'.
Ever
since
its
announcement,
this
film
has
already
created
a
lot
of
buzz
for
its
stellar
star
cast
which
includes
Ranveer
Singh,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
Alia
Bhatt,
Vicky
Kaushal,
Janhvi
Kapoor,
Bhumi
Pednekar
and
Anil
Kapoor.
While
everyone
is
eagerly
waiting
for
this
flick
to
hit
the
shooting
floors,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
the
shooting
of
the
film
will
kick-start
in
February,
2020.
According
to
a
Mumbai
Mirror
report,
Karan
Johar's
'Takht'
will
be
hitting
the
shooting
floors
in
February
2020.
One
also
hears
that
Karan
Johar
is
going
the
extra
mile
to
ensure
that
his
film
doesn't
turn
out
to
be
a
flop
show
like
'Kalank'.
As
per
reports,
the
director
will
be
hosting
acting
workshops
for
the
cast
"with
diction
and
body
languages" so
that
they
get
the
nuances
of
their
characters
right.
The
Mirror
report
further
states
that
everyone
in
the
film
has
a
different
look.
For
example,
while
Anil
Kapoor
has
to
put
on
weight,
Ranveer
Singh
and
Vicky
Kaushal
are
expected
to
look
leaner.
A
source
told
the
tabloid,
"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."
Earlier
in
an
interview,
Karan
Johar
admitted
that
he
is
nervous
about
directing
the
film.
He
was
quoted
as
saying
by
a
DNA
report,
"It
is
challenging
but
also
exhilarating.
I've
never
made
a
period
film
and
I
want
to
do
my
interpretation
of
that
world
and
syntax.
I
know
period
dramas
have
been
attempted
and
achieved
in
Indian
cinema.
There
is
no
point
in
me
doing
something
that
you
have
seen
before.
I
need
to
give
it
my
slant,
my
energy.
I
am
hugely
nervous
but
also
excited."
'Takht'
is
about
two
warring
brothers,
inspired
by
the
fight
for
the
throne
between
the
sons
of
Shah
Jahan
-
Aurangzeb
and
Dara
Shukoh.
While
Vicky
plays
the
role
of
Aurangzeb,
Ranveer
essays
the
role
of
Dara.
The
'Uri'
actor
had
expressed
that
he
is
quite
excited
to
play
Aurangzeb
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
had
attempted
something
of
that
sort
in
Raman
Raghav
and
that
character
is
always
something
I
feel
like
in
every
5
years
playing
that
sort
of
a
grey,
negative
shade
with
the
way
I
will
mature
in
life,
I
would
give
a
different
shade
to
that
character.
It's
the
same
with
Aurangzeb,
I'm
really
excited
to
really
explore
him."
