It seems that Takht will tell the story of war and love. Key themes in the film include betraying your own in the name of greed, ambition and succession.
Takht is based on three of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz’s children set to be played by Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Vicky Kaushal.
But the storyline mainly focuses on the two brothers called Aurangzeb and Dara Shukoh.
Ranveer Singh is apparently set to play Emperor Dara Shukoh and Vicky Kaushal will play Aurangzeb.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s role rumoured to be Ranveer Singh’s character’s sister, Jahanara Begum. And Alia Bhatt is apparently set to play Singh’s love interest in the film.
Although Janhvi Kapoor’s role in the film seems to be undetermined, this will be the first time she will be starring alongside her uncle Mr India, otherwise known as Anil Kapoor.
In India period dramas like Padmaavat, Bajirao Mastani, Lagaan and Devdas have always been very well-received by Bollywood fans.
Karan Johar’s upcoming period drama is probably going to be no different.
Janhvi Kapoor fans are already excited to see the beauty appearing in the Mughal empire epic to be presented on the big screen.
