Riding high on the success of his last venture Uri: The Surgical Strike, Vicky Kaushal is now set to dive headlong into his forthcoming films. Preparation for Karan Johar's Takht, he reveals, will begin post-September. "I've been wanting to do a film that belongs to an era that has no visual reference material. The prep is always the most exciting part of a film, and there will be enough of it for me to do."

But before that, Kaushal is devoted to an upcoming horror film, a genre he can hardly handle as a viewer. Why did he choose to do it, then? "I realised that my reaction in the film would be as natural as is possible."
