Karan Johar's Takht to star Kareena Kapoor, Janhvi, Alia Bhatt; Twitter wonders why Taimur missed the mark

Karan Johar announced the star cast of his next multi-starrer Takht on 8 August. While most congratulated him for bringing in Bollywood’s stellar performers for the film, many trolled him for casting names who had actor parents.

After Kangana Ranaut’s allegation on Johar for promoting talents with a film lineage, the director’s actions seem to always be under the scanner. Takht features Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor. The film is set to hit theatres in 2020. The screenplay has been written by Sumit Roy and the dialogues are by Hussain Haidry. Many even trolled Johar for not casting Kareena’s son Taimur in the cast for Takht.
