But the filmmaker has come out clean and claims they haven’t dropped the idea and says the film is his passion project. In an interview, Johar explained why the film is getting delayed even after cast members are locked.
The DDLJ helmer announced the period drama back in August 2019, the film was supposed to go on floors in March 2020, but the lockdown due to COVID-19 halted the production. Since there was no announcement people thought the filmmaker has dropped the idea.
In a conversation with Film Companion, Karan Johar finally breaks his silence on Takht getting shelved, he even divulged into the details about the film and why its getting delayed, the director said, “No, I am going to make that movie right after Rocky Aur Rani. I can’t let that get away. That film is a piece of my heart. It’s got two and a half years of my prep work on it. We were rearing to go. I still remember we were starting on April 24 when the pandemic hit us in March. The film was so vast, voluminous and on a large scale, that on a daily basis, it needed a thousand people on set. It was that kind of film.”
