Karan Johar has finally released the trailer of his dream project ‘Kalank’. The film starring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Madhurti Dixit and Sanjay Dutt had become the most anticipated Bollywood release due to the cast ensemble.
Karan had introduced Kalank as the film of his dreams since it was conceptualised by his father Yash Johar 15 years ago. The previously released three songs and the film’s promotion has caused a lot of buzz among fans. Directed by Abhishek Varman the film is scheduled to release on April 17.
Recently reports have emerged saying the film has been inspired by a 1999 release book titled, ‘What The Body Remembers’. The book follows the story of Roop, Satya and Sardarji. While Alia and Sonkashi’s name are not the only thing in common the film’s premise also follows that of the book.
Evidently, Alia’s character Roop whose mother is dead and father is in great debt has to get married to a wealthy man (who in the book is Sardarji) Aditya Roy Kapur and become his second wife.
Alia’s dialogue from the teaser, which has also inspired many memes hints at the same story from the book.
