Period drama ‘Takht’ also features Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Janhvi Kapoor in significant roles. Before making it as an actress, Bhumi worked as a casting executive for Yash Raj films.

Asked whether her stint as casting executive has helped in her acting, she said, “Definitely. It benefited me a lot in my acting because I feel my experience working as a casting executive was equivalent to going to any film school. I worked with different directors where I used to conduct auditions of different actors, so I got a fair amount of idea about what is required and what is not required to be an actor. I was enacting film scenes for 3 years of my life working as a casting executive.”

According to filmmaker Karan Johar ‘Takht’ will be like ‘K3G’ of the Mughal Era. The film is a story of a family, ambition, greed, betrayal, love and succession. Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta, the film is scheduled to release in 2020.
