Vicky Kaushal, who played Chhatrapati Sambhaji in Chhava, had got the role of Aurangzeb in this film, but the film was never made.

Vicky Kaushal's film 'Chava' is making a splash in theatres and earning bumper money. Vicky's acting in the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in this film is being liked a lot and his character has been portrayed brilliantly on screen. Akshay Khanna has played the role of Aurangzeb in the film. Some of his best scenes will resonate for a long time. At the same time, Vicky Kaushal has somehow secured a National Award in his name through this film. But do you know that before playing the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in 'Chava', Vicky Kaushal was offered the role of Aurangzeb in a film? Let us tell you about it.

Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Anil Kapoor were cast for Karan Johar's ambitious project 'Takht'. Masaan actor Vicky Kaushal was to play the role of Aurangzeb in this film. He himself told how he was preparing for this project.

What did Vicky Kaushal say about 'Takht'

During an old interview with Filmfare, Vicky Kaushal had shared that he is very excited to play the role of a Mughal ruler on screen. The actor had said, "I am very excited to start the process of Takht. This is a character that is really going to demand a lot from me. And this is where you see life from a different perspective as an actor. It becomes difficult to do justice to that character. The most difficult thing for such characters is to work on your body, your language and mentally prepare yourself for it."

Takht could never be released

Vicky Kaushal further said, "I have played such a grey shade earlier in Raman Raghav. I am paying more attention to this character than any other role because this is a grey shade role and this character demands a lot from me as an actor, for which I am ready." However, as everyone knows, 'Takht' never came on the floor, so Vicky could not be seen in the role of Aurangzeb. Only the producers and directors can tell why this film was shelved.
