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.

  • 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.
