EXCLUSIVE: Will ‘Kedarnath’ be pushed to 2019 to avoid clash with SRK’s movie?

Recently, filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor had taken to his social media page and announced the release date of his forthcoming movie ‘Kedarnath’. The movie which is slated to release on Dec 21 next year is set to face a clash from Shah Rukh Khan’s untitled project helmed by Aanand L Rai. However, Bollywood Bubble has got some exclusive news that there are high chances of ‘Kedarnath’ being pushed ahead to 2019. Reason? It marks the debut of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan and the makers want to avoid clashing with King Khan at the box office.

To all my friends in the media, #kedarnath is on schedule for 21 st dec 2018 🙏 #jaibholenath

Usually the Khans have a solo Friday release, but when SRK and Aanand L Rai’s film was announced for 21st December 2018, pretty soon ‘Kedarnath’ too was announced by Abhishek Kapoor.

A trade source revealed to us, “Though Gattu has stated that ‘Kedarnath’ will release on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan’s film with Aanand L Rai, there is a very strong possibility that the date of the film might shift. It is strange that none of the producers on the film have confirmed his statement or even commented on it. This leads us to believe that the release of Kedarnath, will shift in all probability, to another lucrative date. In the meanwhile the makers of the film refrain from commenting.”

Well, it’s indeed strange because even though director Abhishek Kapoor had announced the release date, the producers KriArj Entertainment have kept mum and haven’t spoke about the release date as yet. So, does it mean that ‘Kedarnath’ will be pushed ahead to 2019 to avoid a faceoff with the Baadshah of Bollywood? Only time will tell! The movie stars Sushant Singh Rajput opposite Sara Ali Khan.
