Karan Johar's ambitious production Kalank brings together the on-screen pairing of Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit after over two decades and the Munna Bhai star on Tuesday said he would like to work more with his longtime co-star.

Sanjay and Madhuri were one of the most popular reel-life couples and worked together in several hit films in the '90s such as Saajan, Khalnayak and Thandedar.

Asked how it was to team up with Madhuri for the film, Sanjay told reporters, "It felt good to work together after a long time. I'll try to work more with her."

The actor was speaking at the teaser launch of Kalank.

Madhuri said reuniting with former co-stars is always enriching.

"We are working after more than 20 years. Recently, I worked with Anil after a long time. It's always wonderful to work with actors you've worked with before. Even here, it was wonderful," she said.

Kalank features also features an ensemble cast of Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur.

Directed by Abhishek Varman, the period-drama is backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and is scheduled to release on April 17.

Originally, Sridevi was meant to do the film, before she passed away last February. The role eventually went to Madhuri.

When asked how it was to take up the role, Madhuri had this to say.

“Firstly, her demise was sad news for us and when I was approached for the role, it was not easy for me. I have immense respect for her. She was a good artiste and a good human being too. To step into the role, when you look into it as an actress, it’s a different scenario as you add your own inputs to the character, but we used to remember her on sets as she was a part of the film.”

"Once you start working, you have to move on and do your job... I did that, but missed her too," she added.
