Not Kedarnath, Sara Ali Khan's Debut Could Be Simmba and You Can Blame Akshay Kumar's 2.0 For That!

When her debut film Kedarnath had been wrangled in legal issues, Sara Ali Khan had gone on and signed Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty's Simmba. This led to some complications between Kedarnath director Abhishek Kapoor and the team of Simmba, with the former wanting his film to be Sara's debut. There was some agreement on it later it seems, as Kedarnath was to come out on November 30, while Simmba, also starring Ranveer Singh, is arriving on December 28.

But then, now it looks like Simmba will be Sara Ali Khan's debut after all. For which you can either thank or blame Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar's 2.0, depending on which camp you belong to. In case you are wondering what's the deal, 2.0 is coming out a day before Kedarnath, i.e. on November 29, and that's one huge movie. As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, the makers of Kedarnath is wary of clashing with the biggie and are contemplating to release the movie next year.

And it is not just 2.0. The months of November and December are choc-a-bloc with big releases like Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan, Ajay Devgn's Total Dhamaal, Shah Rukh Khan's Zero and of course, Simmba, coming out in this period. And not to mention, Hollywood biggies like Aquaman, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, Mary Poppins, Alita: Battle Angel etc also coming out in the same period. Even Karan Johar had pushed the release of the Tiger Shroff's Student of the Year 2 to May 2019, perhaps to avoid this crowded release period.

So we won't really blame if the makers of Kedarnath looking to push the movie to next year. It is an expensive movie, based on the Uttarakhand floods tragedy. Sushant Singh Rajput is the male lead. Watch this space for more updates on this!
