A film I passionately believe in... The last film my father worked on before he left us... It was his dream to see this film come through... I couldn't fulfil his dream then... My spirit was broken... But today his wish has found a relationship with celluloid... The story of turbulent relationships and eternal love has found a voice," read an excerpt from his post, to which Karan Johar also added a still from Kalank.
Kalank is directed by Abhishek Varman and is scheduled to release on April 19.
