Varun Dhawan asks Madhuri Dixit why she calls Sanjay Dutt 'sir'

The Kalank cast

The much-anticipated trailer of Kalank was launched amidst huge fanfare at a theatre in Juhu, Mumbai. Present at this event was the entire star cast - Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt and Kunal Kemmu.

At Kalank's trailer launch, Madhuri Dixit was asked how she and Sanjay Dutt began with Tamma Tamma song from the film Thanedaar (1990), and later their Kalank co-stars, Varun and Alia recreated this song's version for Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). On this, the dancing diva said, "It's wonderful. Fate was reckoning that we all four Alia, Varun and Sanjay sir work together."

To which, Varun Dhawan cut in saying, "I don't understand that now after 22 years why Madhuri ma'am calls Sanjay Dutt 'Sir' and he calls her 'Ma'am'." Although everyone started laughing, Alia being the host, said, it was here on this stage (referring to the teaser launch) that we spoke about it.

At the teaser launch of Kalank, Sanjay Dutt was asked about his experience working with Madhuri Dixit and the other star cast. While answering this question, he had addressed Madhuri Dixit as 'Ma'am', and now, at the trailer launch, Madhuri called him 'Sir,' which has left Varun Dhawan curious.

Talking about the film's trailer, it's about a complicated love story that is considered as a stigma in this film. Hence, the title - Kalank. Karan Johar, who is producing this film along with Fox Star Studios, gave this event a miss since he is busy unveiling his wax statue at Madame Tussauds, Singapore.

Kalank is a love saga set in the 1940s, which effortlessly delves into the love-lives of the film's characters. Helmed by Abhishek Varman, Kalank is all set to hit the screens on April 17, 2019.
