It looked like Sara Ali Khan's debut film, Kedarnath, would be stuck in limbo, after the producer, Prernaa Arora, and director, Abhishek Kapoor, had a fallout.
For those not in the know, Prernaa dragged Abhishek to court for his unprofessionalism and disorganised handling of Kedarnath. Meanwhile, the filmmaker wanted Prernaa's production house KriArj out of the picture for alleged financial interferences and lack of transparency.
For a while, it looked like Kedarnath might be stalled indefinitely, but that is not the case. Sushant Singh Rajput, the leading man of Kedarnath, took to Twitter to announce that the film is back on track.
Sharing a picture with Sara Ali Khan and Abhishek Kapoor, he wrote, "Jai Shiv Shambhoo! #kedarnath #scriptreading #backtothegrind."
Kedarnath is a love story set against the backdrop of the Uttarakhand floods. While Sushant will play a "pithu" or a tourist escort who carries the old and the ailing on his back to the Kedarnath temple, Sara will play a rich tourist who falls in love with him.
The film is expected to release on December 21, and will clash with Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma-starrer Zero at the box office.
