film of his career and his production
house, Takht. The film is totally like a film
by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This time romantic
hit director Karan Johar has decided to
direct a period drama film and that too
having a thriller in the backdrop.
KJo already has announced a huge star cast
for Takht, the film has a lead cast of Ranveer
Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt,
Vicky Kaushal, Anil Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor,
Bhumi Pednekar. The interesting thing is
that this is not what we have the first
actually, two of them are the second
choices.
It is not easy to reject a film of Karan Johar
but we have two superstars who clearly
denied working in Karan Johar's film.
Actually, according to some close sources,
the role Shah Jahan was first offered to
Shah Rukh Khan, but the superstar decided
to stay away from the project as he doesn't
want to look aged in front of actors like
Kareena, Ranveer, and others.

Now, on the other hand, the same Ranbir
Kapoor did, first, the role of Aurangzeb was
offered to Ranbir Kapoor, but the actor
rejected the film without giving any reason
to Karan. However, some source told that
Ranbir was not ready to do a two-hero film
or doing any dark shade character.
Finally, the film came into the hand of two
talented actors veteran Anil Kapoor and
young lad Vicky Kaushal. The film will be
releasing in 2020. Even some already has
announced the film a blockbuster of 2020.
