Karan's game of Takht

Karan Johar has announced his next film, Takht, featuring Ranveer Singh and Vicky Kaushal.

The film is apparently a historical drama set in the Mughal period. And, if what our sources say are to be believed, it is inspired by the story of Dara Shikoh and Aurangzeb’s fight for the throne.

The film also has a strong female star cast, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Bhumi Pednekar, Raveena Tandon and Jhanvi Kapoor.

“An incredible story embedded in history, an epic battle for the majestic Mughal throne... A story of a family, of ambition, of greed, of betrayal, of love and of succession... Takht is about war of love,” Johar posted on Twitter on Thursday.
