Kalank was to star Sridevi as the protagonist but after her tragic end, Madhuri Dixit was roped in for the role. This is how Sridevi's daughters Janhvi and Khushi had to say: "Abhishek Varman's next film was very close to mom's heart... Dad, Khushi and I are thankful to Madhuri ji for now being a part of this beautiful film," Janhvi had Instagrammed.
Earlier in March, Karan Johar piqued our interest in the project and tweeted clarifications to dismiss certain reports that were doing the rounds on the Internet. "Some clarifications! Yes. We are honoured and humbled to have Madhuri Dixit on board for Abhivarman's next! No the film is not titled Shidtay! Yes the film will commence shoot in mid-April! The film's final cast and credits will be announced soon!"
