Janhvi Kapoor opens up on Madhuri Dixit replacing her mother Sridevi in ‘Kalank’

Last year, we lost one of Hindi film’s most iconic actresses – Sridevi. Her death has left a void and everyone misses her terribly. Filmmaker Karan Johar was heartbroken as he was all set to work with the legendary actress for the first time in his magnum opus ‘Kalank’. Later, Madhuri Dixit was roped in to play Bahaar Begum in the Abhishek Varman directorial.

The teaser of ‘Kalank’ was recently unveiled and everyone went gaga over its grandeur and terrific ensemble cast. Yesterday, the makers dropped the film’s first song ‘Ghar More Pardesiya‘ and as expected, both Alia and Madhuri are simply looking marvellous in it.

Now, Janhvi Kapoor (at a recent award show) was asked about her reaction to ‘Kalank’. The ‘Dhadak’ actress opened up about Madhuri in the film and told IANS, “I was excited to see her in ‘Kalank’ from the audience’s point of view. I think the teaser of ‘Kalank’ and every character’s look in the film is looking really beautiful so, I am really excited to see that film.” 

At the teaser launch of ‘Kalank’, the Dhak Dhak girl opened up on stepping into Sridevi’s shoes. “She is such a great actress and human being. To step into her shoes was an altogether different thing. We always missed her on the sets as she was supposed to do this role. But when you start working, you have to look beyond everything and give your best shot. I did the same but of course, we all missed her terribly,” Madhuri shared.

The epic drama, based on the story of eternal romance and sacrifice, is all set to hit the theatres on April 17.
