Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt coming
together for Karan Johar's magnum opus
Kalank broke, it has taken the internet by
storm. Madhuri and Sanjay, who has earlier
shared screen space in Saajan, Khalnayak
among others, will be reuniting after 20 odd
years for Kalank.
While this news certainly qualifies to be the
news of the decade, we have now got to
know the real reason why this unlikely
pairing happened.
According to an insider, Madhuri agreed to
be a part of the movie because there were
no close-up scenes written between the
two. The source added that there are not
many scenes of the two together even
though they are paired opposite each other.
Apparently, Madhuri insisted on the same
and the story has been written in a way to
adhere her demand.
It is well known that earlier it was late
veteran actor Sridevi who was supposed to
be paired opposite Sanjay in the movie but
after her sudden demise, Madhuri stepped
in to take up the role.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Varman's Kalank will
see an ensemble cast including Varun
Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and
Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead roles.
Karan told a leading daily, "Kalank has been
an emotional journey for me. A germ of an
idea that I had nearly 15 years ago; a film
that was in pre-production stage helmed by
my father. I am now proud to pass it on to
the capable and visionary hands of our
director, Abhishek. The film is a beautifully
structured story by Shibani Bathija, and has
an exceptionally fluid narrative and
screenplay by Abhishek.
The film will be jointly produced by Sajid
Nadiadwala who said, "April 18, 2014, was
when 2 States had released, and now on
April 18, 2018, Kalank begins its journey.
This multi-starrer has a story that will cross
all borders and will be historic in the true
sense of the word. I am genuinely happy to
be back with the team, as this film is special
to all of us.
