Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput in Kedarnath
Just when it seemed that Kedarnath has left its troubles behind, Sara Ali Khan's debut film has hit another roadblock. After the trailer was launched last week, the priests based in Kedarnath demanded a blanket ban on the Sushant Singh Rajput starrer, claiming that the film promotes love jihad. Now, Kedar Sabha, the organisation of the priests, has sent a written plea to the makers — producer Ronnie Screwvala and director Abhishek Kapoor — urging them to rechristen the love story.
Set against the 2013 Uttarakhand floods, the film is a romance saga between an upper-class Hindu pilgrim (played by Khan) and a Muslim porter (essayed by Rajput). Wary of the love track, the priests' body has also urged the team to arrange a special screening for them before its release, thus allowing them to ensure that it doesn't hurt religious sentiments.
