Bollywood has a well-known penchant for showcasing inter-faith lovestories in a glamorous style, and looks like Kedarnath is set to serve us the same recipe of clichéd Bollywood romance but, with an added twist. Set against the backdrop of the Uttarakhand floods of 2013, the film is a love story between a Muslim boy, Mansoor and a Hindu girl, Mukku. Director Abhishek Kapoor will once again bring the audience face to face with the reality of a Hindu-Muslim union. Besides the stereotypical inter-religion love story, the trailer shows us a few disturbing shots of the Uttarakhand floods that led to massive destruction to lives of thousands of people during the tragedy.

Watch 'Kedarnath' trailer here:

Sushant Singh Rajput had made his Bollywood debut in director Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che. While the talented actor seems to deliver yet another class act in Kedarnath, it is Sara Ali Khan, the daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, who steals the show with her luminous screen presence in the trailer. The newcomer is already considered amongst the most promising rising talents of 2018. Sushant and Sara's chemistry together is beautiful, however let's hope it does not sink in the imminent doom of clichéd Bollywood romance.
