“Yes, working with her is a pleasure. What is the time frame that we hadn’t met or seen each other? Two decades, perhaps a little more. Madhuri is such a great actor. I’ve done many films with her — Thanedaar (1990), Saajan (1991), Khalnayak (1993), Mahaanta (1997)… I can’t even recall in one go,” Sanjay told the daily.

In the teaser and trailer of Kalank, Sanjay and Madhuri appeared in a particular scene together and the 59-year-old actor said that to work with her in that “one scene” was amazing. “To work with her again in that one scene that we did together in Kalank was amazing. She’s got that command as an actor. It’s a pleasure to share screen space with her after so many years. So much has gone past, people have matured. She herself comes across as such a matured actor,” he added.

Kalank co-stars Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha. The film, co-produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, will release on April 17.
