Karan Johar's one of the most ambitious project, Kalank did not impress the masses and was declared a box-office debacle. When released it had recorded biggest opener of 2019, however, the film failed to have a great run post that. Kalank was helmed by Abhishek Varman and had an ensemble cast including Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. During a recent interaction with Rajeev Masand, Karan took the blame of Kalank's failure all by himself.

The filmmaker stated, "The person responsible for Kalank is me and no one else, I was the leader of that team. I think I got carried away with the film, and when Abhishek Verman had the idea of a palette that he wanted to give it and a certain vision, I was so sucked into that world that I lost complete objectivity. I gave everybody unnecessary wings to fly. That film had commendable talent with Abhishek, Alia, Varun, Sonakshi, Aditya, Sanju and Madhuri. I could have just helmed the film better."

There were even reports making the rounds that Kalank's failure has led to the delay of Karan's upcoming directorial Takht. To which he clarified, "There was a reason for which I moved from September to February, as there were logistic issues, date crunching issues and long commitment from the actors. How does the stress of one film affects the other film, when both are totally different feature films? Have you asked me? I am making Takht. I have been making it since last two years and will be making it for the next two years."

Karan concluded by saying, "Yes, Takht is on a track. It starts in February, I am vastly excited and very very stressed out."

Takht is also a multistarrer which include Anil Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Alia, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Janhvi Kapoor.
