Well, it looks like Madhya Pradesh's Chanderi has become quite a favourite with filmmakers with 'Stree' and 'Sui Dhaaga' also been shot in the city.

Speaking of the film, 'Kalank' is an epic drama set in the 1940s. The film features a huge star cast of Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt, Kunal Kemmu and Madhuri Dixit Nene in key roles. The film will also feature Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani in special appearances.

It is to be noted that the 'Kalank' was conceptualised by KJo and his father Yash Johar around 15 years ago. Late veteran actress Sridevi was initially signed for the character role played by Madhuri.

It is produced by Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala, Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta and co-produced by Fox Star Studios. The film is scheduled for release on April 19, 2019.
