Kriti Sanon to feature in a special song in Kalank

There is no denying the fact that Dharma Productions’ forthcoming period drama Kalank is one of the most-awaited films of 2019. There are loads of reasons that make it so hotly anticipated, one of them being its ensemble cast.

While we all know that the Abhishek Verman directorial stars Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles, what many of us may not know is that gorgeous Kriti Sanon is also a part of the big-ticket offering, albeit in a special song.


Sanon, who is looking forward to the release of his next film Luka Chuppi, shot for the special number last year in June. Talking about the song, the actress says, “It’s a full-on desi dance number and we’ve worked extremely hard on it. It has a “Kajra Re” and “Ghagra” sort of a feel to it.”

“Since Kalank is a period film, you will see me in a very different avatar. In fact, this is the first time that Manish Malhotra, who I have been telling since my modelling days to do a film with me, has styled me for a song,” the actress beams.

Produced by Karan Johar in association with Sajid Nadiadwala, Kalank is set to enter theatres on 19th April, 2019.

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Hamlet trailer lands with Riz Ahmed in the lead role
  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
