Is ‘Kedarnath’ once again in legal trouble? -details inside

Debutant Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput’s ‘Kedarnath’ is one of the most anticipated as well as one of the most controversial films of 2018. From the pre to post-production, the film has been going through many controversies and legal cases.

Now, according to a recent report, an FIR has been filed against ‘Kedarnath’ producer Prerna Arora (KriArj Entertainment) and director Abhishek Kapoor for cheating Anil Gupta (Padma films) for Rs 16 crore. After the reports started doing the rounds, Prerna Arora’s lawyer has released an official statement on behalf of her.

The statement read, “We at Kriarj are not only shocked but surprised at these false allegations of having committed offences of cheating and forgery as alleged in the false complaint by Mr. Anil Gupta of Padma Ispat. On the strength of this false complaint, we would like to convey to all concerned that any amounts invested with Kriarj by any party including that of Padma Ispat are already being adjudicated by the court of law and consequently there is no room for any such criminal action against Kriarj or its directors. Unfortunately, the police machinery is being misused by all the Parties deliberately twisting a civil cause into a criminal offence only with the objective of either extorting large sums of money from Kriarj or arm-twisting into a surrender of certain rights in its films, by threatening with legal consequences of such false complaints. We at Kriarj whilst taking strong exception to these arm-twisting methods, convey it in clear terms to all concerned that neither Kriarj nor any of its Directors are going to succumb to these arm-twisting attempts to extortion from Kriarj.”

He added, “Due process of law is being followed to counter these false allegations. Further, it needs to be clarified once and for all that Ms Prerna Arora has no concern or interest of any nature whatsoever with Kriarj and consequently has been wrongly dragged into this controversy.”

The film will hit theaters in November this year!
