EXCLUSIVE: Madhuri Dixit to play a courtesan in Kalank
Madhuri Dixit will be next seen in Abhishek Varman's Kalank. The film also stars Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur.
Abhishek Varman's period drama Kalank has been in the news ever for quite sometime now. The movie boasts of a stellar cast that includes Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead. Karan Johar is producing the movie, which went on floors in April this year.
While not much has been revealed about the movie, we have got our hands on this little information about Madhuri Dixit's character in the movie. Contrary to reports that said Madhuri Dixit is playing a dance teacher in the movie, a source in the know told us a different story. The gorgeous diva is all set to revisit her Devdas days with Kalank, as she is gearing up to play a courtesan in the movie.
Reveals our source, "Madhuri Dixit will be playing a courtesan in the movie which is a period drama. She is a trained Kathak dancer in the movie, who teaches others the dance form. Given her knowledge and mastery on dance, especially Kathak, this one is easy for her. Despite that, she is putting in 4-5 hours for the rehearsals. Currently, due to the promotions of Bucket List, she is slightly caught up. But once that gets done, she will be leaving no stone unturned for the movie."
However, the source assures that there isn't anything like she did it in Devdas. "Though Madhuri Dixit's character in Devdas was of a courtesan, it is very different from what she has in Kalank. The angle to this is different and hence it won't be anything like Chandramukhi," adds the source.
Another source adds, "While Madhuri Dixit plays this character, Sanjay Dutt portrays the role of a Raja. But at this moment, not much can be revealed about his character. Only when he begins shooting, things will be slightly clearer. Right now, the director is shooting with Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha."
Well, now this is indeed getting interesting. We cannot wait for more details to come out from the movie. How about you?
