Karan Johar invests a whopping amount for Kalank’s recreated old Delhi set!

Karan Johar is quite excited about his upcoming magnum opus ‘Kalank’. The film that was to star the late actress Sridevi, is in news for the coming together of yesteryear actor’s Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit after a long hiatus. The period drama also has Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan sharing screen space once again.

As reported by DNA, A huge set is built in Film City and it is under heavy security to ensure that pictures of the interiors are not leaked. The team is taking extra measures to keep the look of the cast under wraps too.

Reports further states, Karan has spent Rs 15 crore to build an Old Delhi set in the city. He has got Amrita Mahal Nakai to work on the set’s design and structure. An old Delhi mohalla with a Mahal has been created, mainly because ‘Kalank’ is set against the backdrop of the partition. Since the film is based in the 1940s, the team has designed the sets keeping that particular period in mind.

The reports further added, “The film is special to Karan because his dad Yash Johar was keen that this project should materialise. Karan wants to make sure it’s one of the biggest films he’s ever produced. He wanted the whole set to express the grandeur and scale of Kalank.”

Directed by Abhishek Varman, ‘Kalank’ also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur. It is slated to release on April 19, 2019.
