Karan Johar

Karan Johar’s directorial extravaganza - Takht will soon make it to the theaters and this periodic drama is set against the backdrop of the Mughal era. KJo has repeatedly acknowledged the film as one of the most expensive films he has ever directed which has an ensemble cast including Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, and Bhumi Pednekar. 

During a recent media interaction, Johar was asked about his plan on striking a balance in Takht as Bollywood period films which have often been criticized for endorsing Islamophobia.  

The film On Monday, KJo launched the trailer for Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship which stars Vicky and Bhumi in the leading roles. At the trailer launch, the ace filmmaker was asked how he will strike a balance in Takht as Bollywood period films have often been criticized for endorsing Islamophobia. 

To which Karan replied, saying: 

You're talking to someone who has directed My Name is Khan. My sensitivities to religions across the world will always be on point. That's something I believe as a human being and as a citizen of this great country and of the world. Sensitivity to everyone and everything is something we take very deep care of. Takht is not a story I wrote, history wrote that story. I'm only telling it.

- Karan Johar

Takht narrates the relationship between Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and his brother Dara Shukoh and it is all set to hit the screens during Christmas weekend in 2021.

On the work front, Karan Johar launched the trailer for Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship on Monday and the audience is clearly impressed by the trailer. The film stars Vicky and Bhumi in the leading roles and is all set to hit the theaters on February 21, 2020.
