After much controversy surrounding the film, Kedarnath has finally kicked off. The movie which was being jointly made by KriArj Entertainment, T-Series, Balaji Motion Pictures and director Abhishek Kapoor’s Guy In The Sky Pictures (GITS) was put on hold. While KriArj Entertainment’s representatives blamed the director’s unprofessional behaviour and mismanagement as the reason for the delay in the movie, his representatives alleged there was “lack of transparency in KriArj Entertainment’s financial dealings”.
Sushant Singh Rajput took to his Instagram to share the news with a picture of himself, his co-star Sara Ali Khan and director Abhishek Kapoor. He wrote, "Jai Shiv Shambhoo !

The film was rumoured to be shelved when Arjun N Kapoor of KriArj Entertainment denied the rumours. “Firstly, the film is not shelved. It ‘is’ and not ‘was’. It is very much on. I know, as a producer, that many fortunes are involved with every film… Sara’s career is surely important forKriArj. Not only hers but everyone involved in the film. Having said that, there was a valid reason for us to move the court and we are confident that things will be sorted out soon.”
KriArj Entertainment’s co-founder Prernaa Arora assured everything would be “taken care of”. “We are seeking justice from the high court and, at the same time, there could be moves to come together and make the film. Anything can happen. Kedarnath’ is our film. We tried to figure out the right way to do things… We are nobody to speak on anybody individually but we are waiting for the court procedure,” she added.
Hopefully, there will be no more speed bumps for the film in the future.
