Mumbai: Sara Ali Khan’s debut movie ‘Kedarnath’ had been stalled reporting the issue in dues, post which director Abhishek Kapoor parted ways with Kriarj Entertainment.
Abhishek, who was going to reportedly produce the film solo through ‘Guy In The Sky Pictures’, has now roped in Ronnie Screwvala as the producer of the film.
A source stated to Mumbai Mirror, "When Ronnie saw footage from ‘Kedarnath’, he loved it and has decided to back the film. He has paid Bhushan and Prernaa around Rs 14 crore and Ekta approximately Rs 8 crore for their investment in the film and has now completely taken over the film along with Abhishek. Everything was settled amicably and Abhishek can’t wait to start shooting again."
Ronnie told the daily, "‘Kedarnath’ is a great love story set against the backdrop of the powerful true-life event that affected us all during the floods in 2013. It completely matches my vision of great stories that need to be told and I can’t wait to bring this story to the audiences early next year."
