Abhishek Kapoor and KriArj Entertainment are in a big- time war! The creative and financial differences between the director and the producers have stalled the much- awaited film 'Kedarnath' starring Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput. The debut movie of Saif Ali Khan- Amrita Singh's pretty daughter is at the brink of getting shelved and that has created a huge wave in the industry. Abhishek's team recently claimed that KriArj is 'spreading false & mischievous rumours, playing name-slandering games and wilfully harming the interests of the film.' However, Prernaa Arora's team has now come up with official statement against the filmmaker and also plans to drag him to Bombay High Court soon, as reported in DNA.

KriArj Entertainment's lawyer Lavin C Hirani issued a statement that reads, "In spite of the above, KriArj provided its unconditional support to GITS and continued to make huge investments in the film till it was realised that the amounts were not being used for the right purposes. KriArj has tried to salvage the situation with GITS several times including making multiple efforts to resolve issues to no avail. KriArj, TSeries and Balaji are the rightful owners of the film as its co-producers and therefore GITS has no rights to oust KriArj out of the film and out of it’s legal rights as producers and owners of the film. We will be moving the Bombay High Court for enforcing our rights on the film by early next week and we hope to secure the necessary reliefs from the Hon’ble Court."

Kedarnath was a crucial movie for Sara as this was her big ticket to showbiz industry. Also, getting a film with a leading star like Sushant Singh Rajput was an opportunity, one would not like to miss. On the other hand, Sushant Singh Rajput was also very keen about the film, especially after his last flick, Raabta tanked terribly at the box office! Well, now the matter has gone into the court and only time can tell the fate of the movie.
