Johar’s dream project set for big-screen reality

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.
