Kedarnath: A 7 crore set for Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan-starrer

Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Ali Khan is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s ‘Kedarnath’. The first schedule of the movie was shot in Himalayas and now, the second schedule of the movie is all set to kickstart in Mumbai. According to a report in DNA, the makers have made a set in Mumbai for which they have spent a whopping amount of Rs 7 crore.

A source said, “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.”

“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,” added the source.

The makers have decided to shoot the second schedule in Mumbai as they cannot shoot the flood sequences at real locations. The source said, “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.”

‘Kedarnath’ was earlier slated to hit the screens in June next year. However, it has now been postponed to December 2018. The movie will be clashing with Aanand L Rai’s next which stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role and Rohit Shetty’s next which has Ranveer Singh in the lead role.
