Meanwhile, Takht came in the line of fire after a controversial tweet by the film’s writer Hussain Haidry about Hindus.

The hashtag #BoycottTakht was one of the top trends on Twitter, with netizens slamming Haidry for allegedly defaming Hindus in his tweets. According to the reports, Hussain’s Twitter account was locked but screenshots of his tweets with phrases like “Hindu terrorists” went viral, with people slamming him.

The majority of the tweets have been directed towards filmmaker Karan Johar, urging him to remove Hussain from the team of Takht, or else they would boycott the period drama.
