THE teaser trailer of Karan Johar’s dream project Kalank has been released to much acclaim.

The period drama was a project that Johar had contemplat­ed almost 15 years ago with a dream cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Ajay Devgn and Rani Mukerjee.

Though the project was on the backburner for many years, his dream is being brought to the big screen under the directorsh­ip of Abhishek Verman of

2 States fame.

Set to be among the biggest releases of the year, Kalank – out on April 17 – features Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha.

Salman Khan continues to make big news in Bollywood.

After wrapping up the big budget film

Bharat with Katrina Kaif, Khan will start working on the third instalment of the

Dabangg franchise.

Sonakshi Sinha will return as his leading lady.

Incidental­ly, Khan has also used this star power to bridge the gap between Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover, after the two had a major fall-out that led to Grover walking out of the hit Kapil Sharma

Comedy Show.

Now that Khan was producing the show and working with Grover in Bharat, he has convinced the actor to make a return to the comedy extravagan­za.
