Kalank, starring Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit Nene, is a love story. Producer Karan Johar kept the audience on their toes by unravelling a little bit about the film every day before the film's trailer launch. Helmed by Abhishek Varman, the film, which is a love saga is all set to hit the theatres on Wednesday, April 17, 2019. So before you head on to watch the film, here's what you must know about it.
Kalank is extremely special to Karan Johar's heart because it was his father, producer Yash Johar's, last project that he conceptualised 15 years ago. However, the film never took off. After the release of Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), Karan Johar wanted to direct this film himself, but unfortunately, the film got pushed to the backburner. Karan Johar has mentioned that this film is his dream project, and it was Abhishek, who understood his emotion and took the baton of executing it on the big screens. Therefore, Karan handed over the responsibility to Abhishek Varman to weave Kalank through his vision.
