They might not be best at BO - Jodhaa maybe, but Ram-Leela did great, right?- but they are always mentioned as good period type movies.

In a way I'd say it still is about that for KJo- about how period drama/historicals can or cannot make money. So he IS a badwagoner, in that sense. Only now, after he saw historicals that MADE money, did he decide to take these projects on.

Because even if he had the idea to make the movie BEFORE these movies releasing. he still considered it too risky at the time .. or not beneficial enough. Thus, he shelved the project for years.

I think when he saw how Bajirao.. then Padmavaat became such a success , he decided it's worth him investing the money into a historical .. or 3.😆

Even in these.. he is co-producing with others..so he's still making sure he's not taking all the risks on himself.

Historicals are a sinkhole for money- as you ned great costumes and action scenes, besides good script and actors./.. in order to make the movie click with audiences and succeed at BO. So maybe he wasn't sure either that he can create a great story.. or direct/produce a good one... or maybe he simply didn't think cost vs. profit was attractive enough.. before.

Doesn't make sense yet. Takht as I said, I get it. He is trying to cash on the recent historicals, and even took Ranveer.

But Kalank is something which has been in the pipeline since 90s man. I don't think SLB inspired him or his dad for that movie.
Plus he was starting to talk about making it in 2014, as I said earlier and everyone else, Ram Leela wasn't an epic, wasn't a game changer either. Nor was Jodha Akbar. It was BM grossing more than Dilwale which got the maximum hype and Padmavat becoming a blockbuster. And obviously more than these it was Bahubaali which captured everyone's attention.

I think people are just like that crediting SLB for Kalank. Takth as I already said, yes it is a work being made after success of historical and epic movies. Even took the face of Bollywood historical Ranveer for it, while dreaming to take Prabhas at first.
Kalank is being forced into this argument.

How is Jodhaa Akbar not a Hit.? It was a super hit. First Historical which crossed 100 crore mark. It was blockbuster in overseas.

Kjo is a bandwagoner no doubt. He jumps on any successful trend to reap maximum profits from it.

Karan is definitely doing period dramas coz they are reaping profits. Sanjay has spoken at large about how historicals were extensive part of his growing up and mughal-e-azam is not just a movie but a connect point to his dad. Watching that movie again n again was his memory with his dad and is extremely special to him. His passion for his movies can be seen in his music. A layman who has never had any formal training in music comes up with gems like laal ishq, thode badmaash or even ek dil ek jaan is no mean feat. It can only be achieved when there is insane passion involved in it. Karan is emotionally bankrupt and shallow. One thing he really excels in is business. His father was not a very successful producer and made duds after duds hence was not in the ivy league of bollywood like chopras which Karan always aspired to be. So he learnt business with passion to erase all the failure associated with his father's name and hence does exceedingly well in that coz of that drive and passion. He wants respect now as he knows no one really takes him seriously despite his success and money. But sadly he is not a creative person who wants to succeed in creative business.

Well yes alia's look is jodha like but I didn't find sonakshi's look similar to paro's.Overall it is giving more SLB vibe than bahubali vibe I think.Let's wait for the movie though.(I think it is set in pre partition punjab)
