Actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is basking in the success of her debut Hindi film "Dhadak" has said that being a part of multi-starrer historical magnus opus "Takht" is a big deal for her as she is just a newcomer in the industry.
Janhvi was interacting with the media at the success party of "Dhadak" along with the film's director Shashank Khiatan, producer Karan Johar, co-star Ishaan Khatter and sister Khushi Kapoor on Thursday here.
Asked about becoming a part of Karan's upcoming magnum opus "Takht", Janhvi said: "What can I say? I am still in shock. It hasn't sunk in yet. It's a big deal for me and I am so eternally grateful and feel so blessed that Karan (Johar) has allowed me to be part of this journey.
"I am so excited and hope to do a good job... I am just overwhelmed right now."
"Dhadak" which is the official adaptation of Marathi film "Sairat" has managed to collect around Rs 106 crore worldwide at the box-office.

When asked how she felt about her debut film managing to touch such a staggering figure, late actress Sridevi's daughter said: "I am very happy and flattered.
"I hope that more people go, watch and like the film. Achieving the Rs 100 crore mark at the box-office means that lot of people have watched our film and showered their love upon our characters and the story..."
"I hope that we have affected people with our work so, I am very happy with the response that we have got so far. It is very special moment for us and it can't get bigger than this."
"Takht" will be an epic battle for the majestic Mughal throne. It will be a story of a family, ambition, greed, betrayal, love and succession. More importantly "Takht" will be about war and love.
The period drama will have an ensemble star cast of Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor.
The screenplay is by Sumit Roy and dialogues are written by Sumit Roy and Hussain Haidary.
It is being produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta and directed by Karan Johar. The film will release in 2020.
From the time actor Kangna Ranaut called Johar the ‘Flag bearer of nepotism’ during his talk show Koffee with Karan, the tag seems to have stayed. Which is exactly what happened once again when the filmmaker revealed the cast of this film. Similar reactions were also received when movie Student of the Year was released.
You forget Taimur.....😂😂

All nepotism except Vicky and Bhumi. Howcome someone like Kangna Ranaut never finds herself in movies being cast by you! Your insecurity?

His only concept of life is #Nepotism, Everyone is sure that Bhumi & Vicky will be having small roles.
