After Karan announced the cast of the movie, he was mercilessly trolled for nepotism. People slammed him saying that it will be a comedy rather than a periodic drama. Also one asked him why he didn’t cast Taimur in the movie.
Check out the tweets of netizens.
Talking about ‘Takht’, the film will be helmed by Karan himself and dialogues will be written by Hussain Haidry while the screenplay will be done by Sumit Roy. Karan is all set to try his hands in the periodic drama and he will direct it with his own style of direction. It will hit the screens in 2020.
