Kedarnath is a romantic flick which revolves around the disastrous 2013 Uttarakhand floods. Sushant Singh Rajput is playing the role of a pithu, who carries pilgrims on their backs and is a Muslim by religion while Sara plays a role of a Hindu girl who falls in love with him.
Before the trailer launch, the Kedarnath actor took to her Instagram account to share more pictures from the movie. She captioned them as ‘Cinderella moment’.
The movie trailer was dropped a while ago and since then, it has managed to attract eyeballs from across the country. It also landed in a pit of troubles when Teerth purohits (priests) of the shrine town of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand’s Chardham demanded that a blanket ban be imposed on the movie stating that it hurts the Hindu religious sentiments and promotes ‘Love Jihad’.

According to a Hindustan Times report, Vinod Shukla, chairman, Kedar Sabha, an organisation of the priests based in Kedarnath also said, “We will launch an agitation if the movie is not banned as we have been told that it hurts the Hindu religious sentiments by promoting ‘love jihad’.”
The film is slated to release on December 7, 2018, and the teaser itself has got fans curious to see what the film has in store for them.
Apart from Kedarnath, Sara has another movie on her plate, which is scheduled for a December release. Simmba, co-starring Ranveer Singh, is directed by Rohit Shetty. In the film, the Bajirao Mastani actor plays a police officer on screen as Sangarm Bhalerao. The movie will hit the silver screens on December 28 and will mark Ranveer’s first film after his wedding with Deepika Padukone.
