There is a lot of buzz surrounding Abhishek Kapoor's 'Kedarnath' starring Sushant Singh Rajput and debutante Sara Ali Khan. While 'Kedarnath' will mark Sara's debut, Sushant Singh Rajput will be seen collaborating with his 'Kai Po Che!' director Abhishek Kapoor after the reports of a fallout.
When asked about the project, Abhishek in an interview earlier had said, "Like all my films, 'Kedarnath' is also written passionately. It's a love story and it's got the beautiful majestic Kedarnath temple as the backdrop. Let me start making the film and let the film do the talking." While the director did not divulge much, reports suggest that Sara will play the part of an affluent tourist and Sushant will be seen essaying the role of a pithoo.
Talking about the project, an insider source revealed, "Apparently, 'Kedarnath' is based on the tragic 2013 North India floods, the worst natural disaster India has witnessed since the 2004 tsunami. A multi-day cloudburst in Uttarakhand caused devastating floods. As of 16 July 2013, the Uttarakhand government released a report stating that more than 5,700 people were presumed dead. Sadly, the debris blocked up the rivers, causing major overflow. The Indian Air Force, the Indian Army, and paramilitary troops evacuated more than 110,000 people from the flood ravaged area. Director Abhishek Kapoor has set the love saga amidst this tragic occurrence."
