Takht: Vicky Kaushal Reveals Why Playing Warring Brothers With Ranveer Singh Will Be Difficult

Vicky Kaushal is on a roll! After winning hearts and the National Film Award thanks to his spectacular performance in Uri: The Surgical Strike, the actor left us wowed yet again with his latest release, Bhoot – Part One: The Haunted Ship. He is now busy prepping for the much-awaited period drama Takht. Directed by Karan Johar, the film features an ensemble star cast including Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and Bhumi Pednekar among others.

In a recent chat with Bollywood Hungama, the handsome actor opened up about his first period film and shared, “This is definitely off my bucket list since I have wanted to do a period drama. Karan Johar is helming the film. Then, there’s Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar – it’s a great ensemble. I am very excited to be a part of this project since I have never worked with any of them before besides Bhumi since she has done a cameo in Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship.”

He went on to add, “It is a completely different setup. We don’t know each other’s energies yet. It’s always fun when you collaborate with people and discover each other’s energy and play with it. I am very excited to get on with the table read and workshops and all of that which will be a fresh thing for all of us.”

Sharing his excitement of working with the powerhouse of talent Ranveer, Vicky said, “I love him. I absolutely love him. There were times when we sitting on each other’s laps only. It’s going to be a bit difficult to play warring brothers but I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Takht will follow the story of Shah Jahan’s sons Aurangzeb, played by Vicky, and Dara Shikoh, portrayed by Ranveer. According to the buzz, Anil Kapoor will be playing the role of Shah Jahan.
