Madhuri Dixit, who stepped into the late Sridevi’s role in Kalank is busy shooting for the film. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles. Kunal Kemmu also stars in the film. Now, details about the diva’s role in the film have surfaced. A leading daily reported that Madhuri will be showcasing her dancing skills in the partition drama and will apparently be seen as a dance teacher to Alia and Kiara Advani who has a special appearance.

A source told the daily, “Madhuri who is known for her dancing skills, will be seen playing mentor to Bhatt and Advani's character. In fact, Advani is only making a cameo appearance in a special song. Madhuri is undergoing rigorous preparation for the role.'' Madhuri and Alia will also be matching footsteps in a dance number. The source further said, “Madhuri and Alia will start rehearsing for the dance number in a month's time.”

Madhuri had shared her excitement on being a part of the film in a tweet earlier. The film boasts of an ensemble cast and has managed to pull off a casting coup of sorts. Madhuri and Sanjay will be reuniting on the silver screen after a gap of 20 years.

Kalank was first planned by Karan with his father 15 years ago but at that time it did not materialize. He was reported as saying, “Kalank has been an emotional journey for me. A germ of an idea that I had nearly 15 years ago; a film that was in pre-production stage helmed by my father. I am now proud to pass it on to the capable and visionary hands of our director, Abhishek. The film is a beautifully structured story by Shibani Bathija, and has an exceptionally fluid narrative and screenplay by Abhishek.”
