Sridevi, whose untimely death on February 24, 2018, left the country in shock, was signed for Karan Johar's film 'Kalank'.

And now, talking about  'Kalank', Madhuri reportedly said that when she was on the sets, she looked at it as just another role but when Karan asked her to take up the role, she was extremely emotional. She said she hopes that she can make her proud. Talking about her role, she asserted that when people watch the movie, they will realize how different it is from her other films like Devdas because the role is poles apart from that.
