Mumbai: The preparations for Karan Johar directorial Takht have begun. The director announced this magnus opus, and his first historical film following on the footsteps of his contemporaries Ashutosh Gowariker and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, last year with an ensemble cast comprising Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor.
Now, after the success of URI: The Surgical Strike, Vicky Kaushal who is also essaying a pivotal character in the film says that the preparations for Takht have started. “The prep has happened. I am supposed to join the film by May or June,” he reveals.
As his last release is soon to be his first Rs 100 crore film, Vicky is basking on the success but hasn’t let it affect him. “I am not resting after URI. I need to keep myself busy,” smiles the actor, adding, “Takht is a very important film for me. I still haven 't gotten into the mind space to do that role. I will do that closer to when we start filming.” The film is slated to release next year.
