Takht is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Even before the film moves into its production phase, the Karan Johar directorial has dragged itself into a lot of controversies.

Twitter users are now demanding Karan to remove Hussain from the film as he referred to Hindus as ‘terrorists.’ #BoycottTakht is also trending on social media.
