I think the teaser of ‘Kalank’ and every character’s look in the film is looking really beautiful so, I am really excited to see that film.”In Mrs Deshpande, Madhuri plays the titular role of a convicted serial killer, who helps the police solve a series of murders that were similar to her modus operandi.
