has kickstarted. Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan,
Madhuri Dixit, and Kunal Khemu have
started shooting for their portions. Others
from the stellar ensemble cast which
includes Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur,
and Sanjay Dutt are expected to join soon.
However, the shoot was disrupted on
Monday evening due to two snakes. Alia
and Varun were shooting for an intense
sequence when the crew spotted two
snakes inching towards them. Though the
crew took the snake back in the jungle, the
shoot was halted for an hour.
A source revealed, "The actors are on a 45-
day schedule, so the team is taking
precautions to ensure everyone's safety
after this incident. On Monday afternoon,
there was a lot of commotion on set
because the snakes were huge, so the
shoot came to an immediate halt. After
ensuring everyone was safe, the crew took
the snakes back into the jungle.
Incidentally, the same incident had
happened on the same set during the shoot
of My Name Is Khan starring Shah Rukh
Khan and Kajol in which Abhishek Varman
was an assistant director.
Kalank is an epic period drama, produced
by Fox Star Studios, Dharma Productions,
and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
It is slated to release on April 19, 2019.
