Why was Takht closed?

When a historical film is made, its facts cannot be changed. But the situation changed with the arrival of Corona. Many big actors were included in the film, but it became difficult to arrange everyone’s dates. For this reason the film could not progress.

Mahir was sad

Apart from this, he said, ‘If Takht is made today, its script will also have to be written afresh because the preferences of the audience have changed. I was almost living that dream. I was invited to parties and the film team made me feel like a part of their family. When this film was not made, it was very difficult for me to accept it. Losing my dream of working in a Dharma Productions film was no less than a big shock for me.
