Filmmaker Karan Johar says the fate of Kalank will be beyond commerce for him since it is a project that was his 'father's dream'. The multi-starrer film Kalank, produced by Karan, will release on April 17. His Dharma Productions banner has delivered several commercially successful films.
At the teaser launch of Kalank in Mumbai on Tuesday, Karan shared, "Though all our films are special for us, I would say, Kalank is beyond its box-office (collection) and beyond its commerce because it was my father's dream that has got fulfilled with the release of the film." The teaser launch event was graced by the film's star cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sonakshi Sinha.
On the film's inception, Karan said: "After the release of Kal Ho Naa Ho in 2003, I shared the story of Kalank with my father. Since my father had knowledge about the subject... it became his dream to make the film." However, in June 2004 when his father passed away, though Karan wanted to start shooting the film, he couldn't gather the emotional strength to do so. — IANS
