Kareena to begin filming for Karan Johar’s Takht in December

Kareena Kapoor Khan is keeping quite busy these days. The diva is gearing up to make her television debut with the upcoming season of the popular dance reality show, Dance India Dance. DID is currently running into its seventh season, and Bebo will be seen gracing the panel of judges on the show, alongside Bosco Martis and Raftaar. The actress will be busy with the dance reality show for the next three and a half month.

While judging Dance India Dance, Kareena Kapoor Khan will also be expected to take some time out to begin shooting for Dinesh Vijan’s much-awaited film, Angrezi Medium, which also stars Irrfan Khan and Radhika Madan in lead roles. The actress will head off to London to shoot for her portions in the satirical film.


Amidst all this, how can we forget her biggest film in recent years: Takht? The Karan Johar directorial, which was slated to begin production in mid-2019, has been pushed to December. Kareena, along with other cast members, will begin shooting for the period drama in December. Besides Bebo, the multi-starrer has Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor on its ensemble cast.

To be made on a lavish budget, Takht reunites Kareena Kapoor Khan with filmmaker Karan Johar after a long gap of 18 years. They last worked together on the all-time blockbuster, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which hit the marquee in 2001. Reportedly, the actress will go through serious preparation to work on her dialect, looks etc. Takht is slated to roll into theatres in 2020.

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
