January 24, 2019 11:07 IST

The multi-starrer releases on April 19.

When Karan Johar announced the cast of his next production Kalank, he got everyone excited.

And why not?

After all, it's the fourth film where we will get to see the hit jodi of Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan.

And then, there's Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit Nene who have romanced each other several times on screen, who return for an encore.

That's not all.

Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur and Kunal Kemmu feature in the cast as well.

Before we can see the film in April, Namrata Thakker takes us behind the scenes via interesting pictures on social media.

Varun shows off his chiselled body in the freezing temperatures of Kargil.

'#KALANK - was in for a huge surprise when it began to snow in Kargil. I have been training for a while but I was not sure how I would shoot bare body with the temperatures reaching -3 degrees. @prashantsixpack was by my side. God is great I managed to complete the scene rest is cinema history. Also Kargil is sooo dam beautiful', Varun noted.

Alia, Abhishek and Aditya are all smiles on the final day of the Kalank shoot.

Ms Bhatt writes: 'KALANK has wrapped but the heart is still wide open!! For those who understand it and for those who don't.. when you wrap a film it feels like a part of you just combusts.. Especially when you've worked with your friends and family...Crossing our fingers and toes for the journey ahead... Can't wait for you guys to see the visuals.'
