During the interaction, Karan Johar claimed that he narrated the script to Ranveer Singh even before his family know that it is complete and also before his best friend Kareena Kapoor Khan and daughter Alia Bhatt. Karan said, “When I thought of this film, I thought Ranveer Singh has to be in this film. That was my decision. I remember the narration. There would be a huge part in my heart which would’ve been crushed if for some reason you would’ve declined the offer because I had you in mind for Takht always. You were the first person who heard it. Nobody in my family knew this film was ready.”
