Reports that Karan Johar’s most ambitious project Takht featuring a star-studded cast which includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, has been shelved due to a Covid-induced financial crunch, are untrue.
When I contacted Karan he categorically stated, “Takht is not shelved. It’s just delayed.”
With shootings coming to a halt in 2020, Karan’s post-pandemic pending projects must be prioritized according to the work remaining in the individual films. Karan Johar’s Jugg Jugg Jiyo which was on the verge of completion has been completed on priority, to be followed by the long-delayed Bhahmastra and Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi debut Liger.
Once these projects are completed, Karan Johar will start work on Takht.
