Box Office: ‘Kedarnath’ to shift release to avert clash with ‘2.0’?

After a number of delays, it now seems the makers of ‘2.0’ have zeroed on a release date for the much awaited Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar starrer.

While fans of the film will be rejoicing, trouble could be looming for another film, which has been under constant pressure since it went on the floors. The debut release of Sara Ali Khan ‘Kedarnath’ is expected to clash with ‘2.0’ on Friday 29th November. However, it seems that ‘Kedarnath’ maybe forced to shift to avert the clash.

A source told The Asian Age, “It all started when Prerna Arora, the producer of Kedarnath, and director Abhishek Kapoor got into a fight. The first cracks appeared when Abhishek went ahead and tweeted that the film would be released on December 21, the same day as Zero, even though the producers wanted to shift it. There was a major dispute, which led to Prerna’s departure from the film, and Ronnie Screwvala took over. By that time, Sara signed Simmba, her management agency allotted her dates to the Karan Johar-Rohit Shetty film, and Ronnie took her to court. Somehow, they arrived at an amicable solution. But according to the latest developments, Sara and Sushant Singh Rajput may have to compete with Rajinikanth and Akshay. There is a lot of buzz surrounding 2.0.”

If ‘Kedarnath’ is pushed back, then Sara’s other project ‘Simmba’ will make it her debut film, which is scheduled to release late December 2018.
