If fresh reports are anything to go by, then the release date of Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan’s much-awaited film Kedarnath has been pushed ahead once again. Earlier scheduled to enter theatres on 30th November, 2018, the Abhishek Kapoor directorial will now hit the marquee in March, 2019.
So, what has led to yet another delay in the release of the film? According to a source, Ronnie Screwvala, the co-producer of the film, had already locked dates for the release of his other films in the next few months. Since he did not want Kedarnath to clash with his own films, he decided to move it to March.
“With Ronnie’s Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam-starrer, Uri: The Surgical Strike, slated to release in January, and Abhishek Chaubey’s daku (dacoit) drama, Sonchiraiya, also with Sushant, to open in February, Kedarnath has been pushed to March. However, the makers are yet to zero in on a specific date,” informs the source.
Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan was set to make her acting debut with Kedarnath, but since the film is now being pushed to 2019, Rohit Shetty’s Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba, which hits the silver screen in December this year, will now mark her debut.
