Recently, speaking to a leading daily, he said that every character requires a certain headspace and he will get into the skin of the character once they start shooting. He said that it's a completely different world. He would get starstruck during the readings of the film with the director and the writer. He tried to understand the world they've created and how they want it to look like. He said that Takht is a big film in terms of scale and the cast. Vicky said that it took time to get the entire cast together and locations as per requirement. He said that he can't wait for the process to begin as everything is locked.

 

Since the productions have been halted, it seems like the shooting of the film will be delayed.

 

In a major casting coup, the film stars an ensemble cast of Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar.
