  • The real reason Takht isn’t happening yet
  • What Karan Johar says about the budget
  • Why we still care about this royal movie

We just saw the news about Takht and we have feelings. For a while, everyone thought this movie was dead. Cancelled. Over. But wait. There is hope!

Karan Johar just confirmed that Takht is still a priority for him. The movie is supposed to have a very specific aesthetic. Think deep jewel tones and royal Mughal vibes. As art lovers, we are obsessed with that look.

So, what happened? COVID messed everything up. Simple. The budget became a huge problem after the world changed. The cast also had crazy schedules that didn’t match up anymore.

Actor Mahir Pandhi recently shared some details too. He mentioned how the writers and the actors are still trying to figure out the logistics. It is a giant puzzle. While we wait for those royal sets, Aaliyah Kashyap just shared her thoughts on ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’ and we are listening.

Making a historical drama is hard. It costs a lot. Things have to be perfect. It’s almost as surprising as finding out Ari Aster already wrote a ‘Hereditary’ prequel without telling anyone.

Our Take

We think it is better to wait than to rush. A movie with this much history needs to look right. We want to see those rich colors on the big screen! It will be a major moment, just like when Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau just made their red carpet debut and shocked everyone.
