Takht: Vicky Kaushal Reveals He Was Star-Struck At The Reading Table, Can’t Wait To Shoot The Film!

There is no doubt that Vicky Kaushal is the big thing in Bollywood right now. The actor, who had made a humble beginning with a brilliant performance in Masaan left an indelible mark in the hearts of the audiences with his performances in films like Sanju and Raazi. In fact, his performance in Uri: The Surgical Strike also earned him his first National Award. Vicky has a number of projects lined up now, the big one being Karan Johar’s period drama Takht, that will also star Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar.

While reports of Takht being dropped altogether had been doing the rounds, Vicky Kaushal has something very different to say. Talking to Pinkvilla, the actor said, “Every character has its own demands and I’ll get into the headspace of my character in Takht only once I start shooting for it. It is a completely different world. I used to be star struck during readings as I would sit with the director and writer to understand the world they had created and how they are looking at it. It’s their vision and we’re the mediums to make it reach the audience.”

He also added, “It’s a big film in terms of scale and the cast. Getting everybody together and getting locations right took some time. We wanted to take some time so that we could start in the best way possible. Now, everything is locked and I can’t wait for the process to start.”

It also seems that the actor is prepping up even during the Coronavirus lockdown. He has setup a gym in his house and is working out at home now. Well, even we can’t wait for the film!
