Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit Nene at the teaser launch of Kalank revealed that it was tough and emotional for her to play a role which was to be originally played by the late legendary actress Sridevi.
Replying to the question, she said: "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."
