Imtiaz Ali retracts statement about sending back ‘Highway’ crew member for hovering around Alia
Hours after Imtiaz Ali made a bizarre comment about women’s safety in cinema by sharing anecdotes, the filmmaker retracted his foot-in-the-mouth comment.
After days of speculations, Karan Johar surprised the audience with a grand announcement on Thursday morning. He announced his next directorial, Takht, which stars Bollywood A-listers Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar.
Takht revolves around the battle for the throne of the Mughal empire. Karan took to Twitter and wrote: “An incredible story embedded in history… An epic battle for the majestic Mughal throne… A story of a family, of ambition, of greed, of betrayal, of love & of succession… TAKHT is about WAR for LOVE….”
