Biggies unite for a film about the Balakot Air Strikes!

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Abhishek Kapoor, Mahavir Jain and Bhushan Kumar are teaming up to make the mother of all action films about the Balakot Air Strikes.

The story of how the Indian Air Force took out terrorist camps on February 26 will get the big screen treatment with a multi-starrer that’ll go into preproduction this June. The producers decided it was best to join hands for the film that’ll pay tribute to India’s armed forces, and I think it’s fitting that our soldiers have once against united India’s citizens!

Abhishek Kapoor to avoid similar kind of films!

Director Abhishek Kapoor, who is gearing up for his next directorial "Kedarnath", tells his attempt as a filmmaker is not to repeat himself with a similar kind of movies on the big screen.

When questioned about how he motivates himself with every new project, Abhishek Kapoor revealed, "As a filmmaker my attempt is not to repeat a film. There is a trend out there (in the industry) that if there is a hit film, then people start making similar kind of films. For instance, if you make a good action film, you repeat that. I work in an absolutely opposite way. I want to disappear and would be happy if there are no traces of me in (my new) film. The joy of making a movie is the humility of not knowing anything about that world. From 'Rock On!!', I did 'Kai Po Che!'...everything was different."

Written, directed and co-produced by Kapoor, "Kedarnath" tells the story of a Hindu girl who takes a pilgrimage to the historic Kedarnath Temple in the Uttarakhand Mountains, where she meets and falls in love with a Muslim boy who is her guide. Releasing on December 7, the movie will launch Sara Ali Khan, the daughter of actor Saif Ali Khan and his former wife Amrita Singh. She has been paired with actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Director Abhishek Kapoor's forthcoming film Kedarnath is releasing soon. The movie stars Sushant Singh Rajput and debutante Sara Ali Khan. The movie was widely shot in Uttarakhand as well as in Mumbai.

The shooting was started last year by seeking blessings at Kedarnath's Lord Shiva's temple. Lately, Abhishek took to his social media pages and shared a beautiful click of Sushant and Sara praying at Kedarnath temple. In the photograph, both are seen in a pensive mood while seeking blessings.

Director Abhishek Kapoor tweeted the photograph stating, "Kehte hain #bhaironmandir ke darshan ke bagair , #kedarnath ke darshan adhure hain. The day before 1st day of shoot.. like starting a long expedition. #1stepatatime #jomangomilega #kedarnaththemovie #rsvp @guyintheskypictures @rsvpmovies #ronniescrewvala @pragyadav @sushantsinghrajput #saraalikhan @uttarakhandheaven.in #uttarakhand"

Kedarnath is scheduled to release on November 30, 2018.

Sara Ali Khan’s legal trouble for Kedarnath has resolved!

Earlier, it was stated that Sara Ali Khan landed in legal trouble as her team gave the same dates for Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath and Rohit Shetty's Simmba.

Saif Ali Khan tried to solve the matter but nothing helped. The makers of Kedarnath then filed a lawsuit against Sara Ali Khan demanding Rs 5 crore.

In Kedarnath, Sara Ali Khan will be seen along with Sushant Singh Rajput and in Simmba, she will be romancing Ranveer Singh.

As stated in a daily, a source revealed, "When Kedarnath landed into trouble and was stalled after a fallout between Abhishek Kapoor (Gattu) and Prernaa Arora, the agency that manages the newbie actress gave bulk dates in June and July to Rohit and Karan Johar for Simmba. Now that Ronnie Screwvala has come on board and is backing Kedarnath, Gattu and he wanted the same dates from Sara to complete their movie. They decided to take a legal recourse soon."

The trial for this case was going to be held today. But, Abhishek and Rohit have now mutually settled the matter outside the court. A source revealed to a daily, "Rohit and Gattu had a talk. Ronnie, too, was present at the meeting. The three filmmakers met on Sunday to discuss the matter. Karan (Johar) couldn’t be there as he’s holidaying in the US. They have come to a mutual agreement.”

The source further reveals, “Sara will shoot simultaneously for Kedarnath and Simmba. While she films Simmba, the Kedarnath team will complete the portions that don’t include her and vice versa. The directors have worked it out."

This time I find him harder, hungrier and even better prepared, reveals Abhishek Kapoor about Sushant!

Actor Sushant Singh Rajput and director Abhishek Kapoor collaborated for the first time for the former's Bollywood debut film Kai Po Che and it worked wonders for the actor. Then there was no looking back for him. Now, the actor has paired up yet again with the director for their forthcoming movie, Kedarnath. Kapoor took to Instagram to pronounce that they will be starting the shoot tomorrow and well, he is also all admirations for Sushant.

He told, "I discovered this thunderstorm of an actor when i did #kaipoche. Tomorrow i roll the camera on him again and this time i find him harder, hungrier and even better prepared.. with the blessings of our god #shiva we will deliver a film even more memorable than our last dance together Shoot starts tom 5 th sept #kedarnaththemovie #kedarnath @sushantsinghrajput #saraalikhan @guyintheskypictures @iprernaarora @pragyadav @ekmainaurektu7_ #balajitelefilms #bhushankumar #tseries #shiva #uttarakhand #jaibholenath."

Previously, the movie was to go on floors on September 3 and now it has been shifted to September 5, which is tomorrow. Apart from Sushant, the film also stars Sara Ali Khan in the lead role. Sara and Sushant, before the shoot even begun went to the Kedarnath Temple to seek blessings.

Going by the news, Sushant will be essaying the role of a pithoo in the movie. In an interview with us, he also confirmed that he is living like a pithoo and learned the basics of cooking, including vegetarian food. He revealed us, "“I don’t debate those things like these are things I normally don’t do in my life but instead I think I should be doing them. It’s just that I have to do what my character does and that’s non-negotiable. A few days back if you asked me if I know how to cook I would have said no, it could have been different but now, yes, I can say I know the basics of cooking (laugh). I can cook everything – like daal, chawal and roti to sabzis. Recently I went to meet the CRPF jawans at Manipur for Jai Jawan for August 15 and I made some nice, perfectly round, thin rotis there for them and you know that someone who can make round rotis can make daal-chawaal too! Now I can safely say I have the basic instinct to survive and how."

Sara and mom Amrita Singh’s special meeting with Abhishek Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput!

We have often see Sara Ali Khan hang out with dad Saif Ali Khan and his lovely wife Kareena Kapoor Khan. Sara has also joined the B-town party gang lead by Karan Johar and is often clicked partying with them. However, this time the lovely newbie of Bollywood is seen sharing a quiet supper evening with mom Amrita Singh.

However, it seems that the supper evening was more of a work meeting as the mother-daughter duo met up with her debut director Abhishek Kapoor and Sara's leading man Sushant Singh Rajput. Apparently, the film, titled Kedarnath, is set in Uttarakhand with Sara playing Sushant’s love interest. SSR made his Bollywood debut in the Abhishek Kapoor movie Kai Po Che, which became a hit at the box office during the time.

While Sara looked lovely in a peach dress, Amrita sported more of a casual look for the meeting. Sushant on the other hand looked dapper in a black tee and pants.

It was first rumoured that Sara will debut in Karan Johar's Student of the Year 2. Saif had also said that Sara would be lucky to have a mentor in KJO. He had said, "I am very happy she is working with Karan Johar because I think he is brilliant with newcomers and he will launch her correctly. He is a very intelligent and a passionate filmmaker and he understands films. I am very pleased that she is with him".

However, it seems it is Abhishek and Sushant for Sara's big Bollywood debut. Do you think they make a good pair?

Abhishek is still my friend, but was not able to be a part of this movie, says Farhan Akhtar!

Filmmaker cum Director Farhan Akhtar released the much anticipated trailer of his movie Rock On 2 in Mumbai recently along with his outstanding team. Farhan revealed about his experiences shooting for the musical extravaganza. When questioned about friend-turned-foe Abhishek Kapoor, who is not a part of the sequel, Farhan told, "Every film and every person has a journey of their own. He is still my friend. But the situation was such that he was not able to be a part of this movie."

Farhan and Abhishek, who were once BFFs, fell apart when Abhishek blamed the Rock On 2 team of not giving him due credits for the script of the film. This followed with a muddled legal battle, the result of which was the souring of the personal and professional relationship of the two gifted artists.

Farhan Akhtar was joined by Shraddha Kapoor, Prachi Desai, Purab Kohli and Ritesh Sidhwani for the launch event. The movie is ready to release on November 11th.
