After helming Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Karan Johar is all geared up for his next directorial venture, a period drama titled Takht. Featuring an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, the film is set against the backdrop of the Mughal era. And it won't be wrong to say that the audience is waiting with bated breaths to see KJo's version of a historical film.
Now speaking about it, Karan disclosed some interesting details about Takht on Neha Dhupia’s talk show, No Filter Neha. Terming it as the 'most passionate piece of material that he will ever direct', the filmmaker was quoted as saying, "I’m obsessed about the Mughal era ever since I can remember. That’s the one part of history that I was obsessed about in terms of its visual texture, its controversial content, the political betrayal, the love, the lust, the decadence, the debauchery, the madness, the violence, everything. That era is exotic and it’s gorgeous. It’s absolutely beautiful."

Further elaborating how Takht is a story about Dara Shikoh (Ranveer) and Aurangzeb (Vicky), Karan shared his excitement to work with the lead actors by stating, "I can’t wait to put this film on the floors and I can’t wait for the world to see it. I’m so excited with the cast, I’m so excited about Ranveer, Vicky, Bhumi and Kareena and Jahnvi, Alia and Anil Kapoor who I’m working with for the first time."
Well, just like Karan, we are too excited to see the interesting cast on the silver screen.
