Abhishek Kapoor’s Kedarnath has been the talk of the town much before the release of the film due to the differences between the director and the producer Prernaa Arora of KriArj Entertainment.
Due to this reason, the shooting of the film had been led to a halt but it is not so anymore.
Acclaimed filmmaker Ronnie Screwvala has come to the rescue for Kedarnath. Ronnie has taken over the reins of the movie by compensating former producers Bhushan Kumar, Prernaa Arora and Ekta Kapoor. He will now be producing the project, the second schedule of which will start by the month end in Mumbai.
When Ronnie was asked about the movie, he said:
“Kedarnath is a great love story set against the backdrop of the powerful true-life event that affected us all during the floods in 2013. It completely matches my vision of great stories that need to be told and I can’t wait to bring this story to the audiences early next year.”
Director Abhishek Kapoor commented on this saying:
“I feel invigorated that he has stepped in and reinforced his faith in me. Just being in the same room with Ronnie is a privilege, making a movie with him is an honour”.
Coincidentally, the film marks the second collaboration for Abhishek and Ronnie after the 2013 buddy-drama Kai Po Che that had also featured Sushant in the lead alongside Rajkummar Rao and Amit Sadh. Abhishek mentioned that he is already prepping up to resume the Kedarnath shoot by the end of this month.
Kedarnath marks the acting debut of Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan’s daughter, Sara Ali Khan, opposite Sushant.
Kedarnath is a love story set against the backdrop of the flash floods that wrecked the temple town in June 2013 and claimed over a hundred thousand lives.
