Bollywood’s much awaited love-story ‘Kedarnath’ that marks the debut of the most charming and talented Sara Ali Khan, directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Abhishek Kapoor (fondly called Gattu), has wrapped up its month long shoot in the holy lands of Kedarnath and moved base to good old Mumbai. The film also stars Sushant Singh Rajput. We cannot help but wonder if the crew is having withdrawal symptoms post leaving the sacred soil of Kedarnath having shot is some of the most pristine locations there!
Sara Ali Khan’s first look from Kedarnath
“It’s been an incredible schedule.. exhausting and exhilarating.. shooting in the mountains is never easy especially when it’s on a yatra and the weather changes constantly but thankfully the mountain god has blessed our shoot and it’s wrapped as per schedule,” smiled Abhishek Kapoor, the director of this pilgrimage of love and also its co-producer.
He adds, “I have been very fortunate to have very good producers, KriArj and T series, backing this film, our pilgrimage. KriArj with their meticulous code of conduct, their unique passion for films and a strong team support and T series with their successful acumen in the business of film making, together bring much more to the table, than what I could have asked for.”
The film, a love story set against the holy temple town of Kedarnath, was shot at some of the most beautiful and untouched locations in the Kedarnath area like the Triyuginarayan Temple or the Akhand Dhuni Temple, held in reverence for the belief that Lord Shiva married Parvati here. The shoot also explored the virgin Chopta forests, an unspoiled natural destination lying in the lap of the Uttarakhand Himalayas that offers views of the imposing Himalayan range including Trishul, Nanda Devi and Chaukhamba.
