You'll never guess how much it cost to put up 'Kedarnath's' set in Mumbai

Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan have recently completed shooting for the first schedule of their upcoming film 'Kedarnath', in the foothills of the Himalayas. The team will begin shooting for the second schedule within a few days in Mumbai. A source close to the film has revealed that a huge set has been erected in Mumbai’s Film City.

“They have replicated the entire holy city at a whopping cost. A model of the Kedarnath temple has also been designed. Since the film is an inter-faith love story, set against the backdrop of the devastating Uttarakhand floods, the makers plan to shoot the flood sequences now. Hence, this will be the city that will go under the water. Huge water tankers, too, are going to be made available for the shoot,” said the source.

The source further added that it cost Rs 7 crore to set up the sets. The source said, “Prernaa Arora and Abhishek Kapoor, who are co-producing the film, didn’t want to compromise on their vision. Building the whole set has cost them a whopping Rs 7 crore. In recent times, this is one of the biggest sets that has been created.”

“They shot the major portions in Kedarnath during the first schedule, but they cannot shoot the flood scenes there. It has to be done in a controlled environment. So, they decided to put in money to recreate Kedarnath in Mumbai itself,” the source concluded.
