The third schedule of the Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt-starrer Kalank recently came to an abrupt halt after a part of the set gave way due to heavy rains in Mumbai. The film’s set had been erected at Chitrakoot Grounds in Andheri and the team had shot certain portions before the incident at the site. Plans to resume work on the Abhishek Varman directorial have been stalled for now.

A source revealed, “The team was to shoot a 20-day schedule starting July 31. Now, the shoot is postponed for at least two weeks as dates for all the cast members who have scenes together had to be reworked. The makers have decided to wait for the rains to let up before resuming shoot.”

Work on rebuilding the set, which is designed by Amrita Mahal, is expected to begin shortly. The Kalank shoot had kicked off in April with Sonakshi Sinha and Sanjay Dutt joining in in June. It was followed by a break as Alia went off to Bulgaria for Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, Varun resumed work on Sui Dhaga, Sonakshi was on the Da-Bangg tour and Sanjay kicked off his home production, Prassthanam. Kalank is expected to wrap up by November-end.
