Karan Johar on ‘Takht’: I am hugely nervous but also excited

Karan Johar is a man who can don many hats. He can direct love stories and host chat shows with equal expertise. We are looking forward to his upcoming directorial ‘Takht’ with bated breath.

Speaking about the movie, in an interview with DNA India, Karan said, “It is scary. I was in a prep meeting with all the teams and suddenly they said, ‘Karan, you are looking a bit stressed.’ I told them I was feeling anxious. Each time I think of the scope of work that needs to be done, I feel intimidated. It is daunting and huge. It is challenging but also exhilarating. I’ve never made a period film and I want to do my interpretation of that world and syntax. I know period dramas have been attempted and achieved in Indian cinema. There is no point in me doing something that you have seen before. I need to give it my slant, my energy. I am hugely nervous but also excited.”

When asked about whether he is trying to imitate Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karan said, “While I am a huge fan of SLB, as someone who loves his work, I understand that he has set the benchmark already. However, I am hoping that what I do with Takht will be completely individualistic. Takht will have its own energy and charm.”
