The budget of Takht was 200 crores?

Mahir Pandhi said, “I was almost living that dream. I was invited to parties and they made me feel included. I was made to feel like I was a part of that film. If I look back, only I know how difficult it was to accept the fact that Dharma’s film would not be made for me.”

I believe that this is the best work of my career and I hope that I will definitely make this film one day.”
