Here’s what happened to Bhumi Pednekar when Karan Johar offered her ‘Takht’

Bhumi Pednekar who has teamed up with filmmaker Karan Johar for the first time in her filmy career feels honoured and proud to be a part of Johar’s ‘Takht‘ which has an ensemble cast featuring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. In a recent interaction with film journalist and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s wife Anupama Chopra, the actress revealed how she bagged the magnum opus.

The ‘PadMan’ actress stated, “He (Karan Johar)  just called me to his office. There was something that was brewing and I was not sure why has he called me. I went, I met him and then he told me, ‘So Bhumi, I am directing my next film.’ I fell off the chair. I said, ‘What? You called me for your film?’ He was so nice. He gave me a narration and throughout the meeting, I kept saying ‘What?’ I said, ‘Wait! Are you sure? Is this really happening?’”

Talking about Karan’s personality and the kind of films he has made, Bhumi added, “I really adore him as a person. I have really enjoyed watching his films and when he told me about the story and the cast and what he is trying to make, I was floored. I feel extremely honoured. I am really excited. I am really trying to be very contained.”

It is definitely an honour to be a part of Karan’s film, isn’t it?
