Meanwhile, Preity Zinta and Ananya Pandey took to Instagram to wish the team the best of luck ahead of the film’s release, scheduled for Friday, December 7. Kedarnath is a love story about a Muslim man and a Hindu woman, set against the backdrop of a natural disaster.
The film has been a victim of numerous setbacks. Production company KriArj Entertainment was involved in a legal spat with Kapoor, who in turn filed a lawsuit against Sara. More recently a PIL was filed against the film, alleging that it hurts Hindu sentiments. The plea was dismissed by the court on Thursday.
