Takht is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Even before the film moves into its production phase, the Karan Johar directorial has dragged itself into a lot of controversies. From rumours about it being shelved to being asked as to why Karan is making a film like this at times when Islamophobia is at its peak in the country, the film has seen it all.

But it looks like the troubles are not over for the film yet. Takht‘s writer Hussain Haidry’s post about a certain section of people has piqued Twitteratis hatred towards the writer. Twitter users are now demanding Karan to remove Hussain from the film as he referred to Hindus as ‘terrorists.’ #BoycottTakht is also trending on social media.

Hussain Haidry had tweeted, “Use these words. Words are important. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist. Hindu Terrorist.” This reaction came after he was reportedly incited by some alleged attacks made by extremist Hindu parties over minorities in recent times.

Politics is one topic that grabs the most eyeballs and right-winged people did not take this well. The writer was slammed for his extremely inappropriate post and was demanded to be removed from Karan Johar’s Takht. People called the team of Takht as ‘Bollywood Terrorist’ and one user went on to even say, “These jokers @karanjohar & @DharmaMovies use him as a writer for thier movie #Takht. Who abuses Hindus, Hinduism & Bharat day & night #BoycottTakht #Takht”

Another user wrote, “Hey @DharmaMovies this Man who is on Your Payroll is abusing Hind Dharma day-n-night. So we are Boycotting Your Movie #BoycottTakht… @karanjohar @smritiirani”
