Karan Johar drops a glimpse of his ambitious production Kalank

On Wednesday, Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar surprised everyone by sharing a glimpse of his much-awaited production venture Kalank. The project is very close to the filmmaker as it was planned by his late father Yash Johar some 15 years ago.

Mounted on a huge scale, Kalank is a period drama which features Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, Varun Dhawan and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles. The film is directed by 2 States (2014) fame Abhishek Verman.


Revealing why Kalank is a very special project for him, Karan Johar wrote in an Instagram post, "A film that was born in my heart and mind 15 years ago, 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. The film has been woven, nurtured and visualised by ABHISHEK VARMAN and the film is KALANK! Set in the ’40s but its heart lives on. TOMORROW the journey begins.....am excited ...anxious and emotional about this one. I do hope you join us on our path to undying love.....#KALANK.”

Produced by Dharma Productions in association with Fox Star Studios, Kalank is set to release on 19th April, 2019.

Beyond the killer: 4 true crime stories that explore perpetrator's families

They don’t wear prison uniforms. They haven’t committed the crime. And yet, they live with the sentence. The whispers, the suspicion, the unbearable question: Did you know? Could you have stopped it?

For decades, true crime has obsessed over killers—their twisted minds, their methods, their victims. But now, a new wave of storytelling is forcing us to look beyond the perpetrators. What about the people they left behind? The mothers who raised them, the children who bear their names, the siblings who once shared bedtime secrets. Netflix’s Adolescence, Paramount+’s Happy Face, and a string of recent documentaries expose the unseen collateral damage of crime: the families of murderers who are left to pick up the pieces.
