He has good potential.

My disgust for this movie is so much that I wish Ranveer gets preggie and is forced to quit it 😆

Varman has potential to do historicals? Have you seen the sets and settings of Kalank? They have done zero research. NIL. Pray tell how he's gonna handle the Mughal age when he can't even do the more recent and well documented partition era right. The rest comes secondary. He couldn't even get the look right. And societal mingling and ecosystem I'm not even commenting on.

I know what you mean.
Anything KJo touches makes me go : Bleurgh !
I really hiope he gets another director and gives up his crazy dreams of becoming this 'great director extraordinaire'.. It won;t happen.. he's a bad a ctor and a fluff director.. should stay with promoting his 'baes' and doing his underhand gossip and dragging..

This article was published now but he was speaking about Takht on Starry Nights in December (the interview has been taken from it) and he had started pre-production since then so yeah it's almost a year before the shoot starts in September.

I think Kalank doesn't have anything to do with Takht. Kalank's story is average at best while Takht's story has huge potential, if executed well. Also, Kalank won't flop lol Himesh has predicted a 25 cr opening for it.


have you read the script?

Lol I think you didn't read how Karan ghost directed this. Everything was done by Karan's permission. If he's given the freedom to do Takht, he can do better than Karan that's for sure. And this is just his 2nd film.

Also, I think it's the whole team of technicians who are at fault for this weird portrayal of the 1940s. Even Richard Attenborough, a foreigner, had nailed the 40s look in Gandhi.

I don't know why you haven't realized by now that Kalank is a period film just in name. 😆 It's a commercial film with big sets and dance numbers to attract audiences. I could spot so many errors when it comes to that period from the teaser itself.

First Dhamra ka damroo Karan is directing it. Second I am sure it won't live up to the aesthetic expectations. Third Karan will get Ranveer ghost direct it and I feel he is not ready for the job yet. All in all it will be a huge disaster whose tekda will be phodoed on Ranveer's head which I don't want.

I agree with the bolded bit.
Mish mash , big names some good music .. et voila !

KJo thinks that throwing things together is gonna make a historical.. and he's good at sligh-of-hand.. and as such he'll try fool the audiences.. but yes.. mish mash is obvious even from what we've seen. He's used the director cause he worked with SLB..so he could get a bit of that 'style' and ghost directed - oversaw the whole thing.. you can see KJo 's hand in some garish details.
