However, we at Peepingmoon.com have got an interesting exclusive information on Kalank. We have learnt that Sonakshi Sinha will be seen playing Aditya Roy Kapur's wife in this Abhishek Varman's directorial. "Sonakshi has a short role in Kalank.

The source also told us that Sonakshi who recently wrapped up Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi will begin the shooting for Kalank next week. "She will shoot for her portion in Andheri where yet another lavish set is being erected. This set will be Sanjay Dutt's house who plays a patriarch in the film.

Talking about the film, Karan Johar had recently said, “Kalank has been an emotional journey for me. It is a gem of an idea that I had nearly 15 years ago and a film that was in a pre-production stage helmed by my father. I am now proud to pass it onto the extremely capable and visionary hands of director Abhishek Varman. Kalank has a beautifully structured story by Shibani Bathija and an exceptionally fluid narrative and screenplay by Abhishek.”
