Vicky Kaushal to commence Takht shoot in February 2020

Vicky Kaushal has his plate full with several high-profile projects, one of them being the much-awaited period drama Takht. Announced in 2018, Takht is the next directorial venture of ace filmmaker Karan Johar after his Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016).

After facing some delay in production, the movie is set to roll in early 2020. Vicky Kaushal, who plays a prominent part in Takht, reveals that he will start shooting for Karan Johar’s historical drama in February 2020.


“We will start shooting for Takht in February. The preparations are in full force at the moment. I will first finish the shooting of Sardar Udham Singh and then move ahead with the shooting of Takht,” says the National Film Award winning actor.

Takht is a multi-starrer. Besides Vicky Kaushal, it also features Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. The Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019) actor says that he is looking forward to working with such an ensemble cast.

“It is a huge film with a huge star cast. I am very excited to experience how all the actors of the film act in one frame. I just hope that I do not overact in excitement! I hope the film shapes up well,” says Kaushal.

Before he starts shooting for Takht, Vicky Kaushal will be seen in Dharma Productions’ another film Bhoot Part 1 – The Haunted Ship. Earlier scheduled to roll into theatres on 15th November, the horror flick will now arrive on 21st February, 2020.
