Kedarnath that was supposed to mark the
debut of Sara Ali Khan as the leading lady
faced a major setback. Readers who have
read the earlier reports will be aware that a
major rift broke out between the director
and co-producer of the film Abhishek
Kapoor and the now infamous KriArj
Entertainment. Owing to the separation of
the two production houses, now Kedarnath
has found a new producer in the form of
Ronnie Screwvala.
The former head honcho of UTV, Ronnie
has kicked off his own production house
and is currently looking on producing some
hatke Bollywood content. He has reportedly
appreciated the story of the film after
looking at the few rushes of the same. "It's
a great love story set against the backdrop
of a very powerful True Life Event that
affected us all with the floods in 2013.
Completely matches our vision of great
stories that need to be told and can't wait
to bring this story to the audiences early
next year, said Ronnie Screwvala.
On the other hand, speaking about the
controversy, many speculations claimed that
whilst shooting of Kedarnath, the film had
gone over-budget. This was considered to
be the main reason of friction between the
director-co-producer of the film Abhishek
Kapoor and the rest of the producers
including Bhushan Kumar and Ekta Kapoor.
But Abhishek aka Gattu had denied the
story. And now, as the reason for the
conflict remains to be unknown, we hear
that Ronnie decided to come on board after
being impressed with the script. In fact, he
went on to return the investments made by
Bhushan Kumar, Prernaa Arora and Ekta
Kapoor which were Rs. 14 crore [Bhushan
& Prernaa] and Rs. 8 crore respectively.
Furthermore, now that Ronnie Screwvala
has become the sole producer of the film, it
is all set to kick start from this month
onwards. Excited about having Ronnie on
board, Abhishek Kapoor said, "After Kai Po
Che, Kedarnath will be our next venture
together.. Ronnie is an exemplary leader
and I feel invigorated that he has stepped
in and reinforced his faith in me. Just being
in the room with Ronnie is a privilege,
making a movie with him is an honour.
Interestingly Kai Po Che marked the
Bollywood debut of Kedarnath male lead
Sushant Singh Rajput.
The first schedule for Kedarnath has already
been completed in the mountainous region
of Uttarakhand. It was during the second
schedule that the problems started
persisting and the shoot had come to a halt.
Now the same shoot is all set to resume
later this month in Mumbai.
