Everyone is excited to watch Sara Ali Khan in ‘Kedarnath’ alongside Sushant Singh Rajput, as this film will mark her debut in the film industry. But according to reports the makers had a split and have decided to part ways. A source said, “Though the two production houses had collaborated on Abhishek’s ambitious project, the latter is not a part of the film anymore.”


Abhishek Kapoor had declared that the film will hit the screens on December 21, the same day as Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’. But Prernaa Arora didn’t want to clash with the superstar, and that led to a lot of disagreement between both the producers. There are also reports that Abhishek is already in talks with as many as three studios.


Producer Prernaa said, “Every story has two sides. Please listen to our side. Abhishek wasn’t able to keep his end of the bargain on most counts. It was he who breached the agreement first. He was to finish a major chunk of the film at Kedarnath in October 2017. However, when the unit returned, we realised that this commitment was not fully met. There was a lot of wastage.”


Apparently, as per reports the director got abusive over the phone with Prernaa so later she decided to leave, Abhishek tweeted, “To all my friends in the media, #kedarnath is on schedule for 21 st dec 2018 #jaibholenath.”


He further added, “We were game to giving in to reasonable demands as far as the production goes. However, we are not keen on throwing our money into a well. We needed to see the way our money was being used. Unfortunately, the movie is already over-budget after the first two schedules itself. And, we were actually in the process of sorting things out. However, if Abhishek has decided to move on, we would like to state on record that we are not at fault. You must know the why and why-not of a situation before coming to any conclusion.’’
