As a parent I am sure he was concerned: Abhishek Kapoor on Saif sorting out his date issues with Sara

Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan starrer Kedarnath is all ready for release and nobody can be as elated and delighted as director Abhishek Kapoor who fought tooth-and-nail for the film. Abhishek recently gave an interview to a leading daily where he spoke about the film and his leading actress who is making her debut with Kedarnath. He also spoke about the notice that he sent to Sara and how her father Saif Ali Khan had to step in to sort things out.

Talking about the legal notice that he sent to Sara’s talent management agency after they gave her dates to Rohit Shetty’s Simmba, he said, “The agency simply jumped to the conclusion that I would not be able to get out of the mess I was in and gave away my dates without discussing it with me even once. It was a slip-up from their side, our schedule was really tight and to resolve the matter, we had to move court. The purpose was not to fight but find an amicable solution which we did.”

Sara’s father Saif eventually stepped into the matter to sort things out. Talking about the same Abhishek told the leading daily, “As a parent I am sure he was concerned. But we spoke, and he understood that we both want Sara to do very well. She is his daughter and she is doing my film and for me it’s important that my actors are shining out there. Having said that, certain things had to be done in a certain way for a resolution to come out, we simply followed the procedure.”
