Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has opened up on the status of Karan Johar's ambitious project Takht. The period drama which was announced with a stellar cast now stands shelved. When asked whether the makers will revive the project in the future, Kareena revealed that the chances are bright when the time is right.

After nearly two decades of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kareena was set to collaborate with Johar again for the period drama Takht, which traces the relationship between Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and his brother Dara Shukoh. But the film, also starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal and Anil Kapoor, was put on hold amid the pandemic.

Johar moved on to direct Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, also starring Ranveer and Alia with Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. Asked about the status of Takht, Kareena revealed the filmmaker is still more than willing to make the historical drama when the time is right.

"I'm sure we will definitely make Takht, but it's not the right time. It's an elaborate film which requires a lot of people on set. I'm sure this film (Rocky Aur...) he is making will be spectacular and I'm sure Takht will definitely be made. He says he wants to," said Kareena on the sidelines of the FDCI X Lakme Fashion Week, where she walked for ace designer Gaurav Gupta at the grand finale on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, Kareena will next be seen Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha and her debut production helmed by Hansal Mehta.
