New Delhi:
Sara Ali Khan, daughter of actors Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan, is
all set to make her debut in Kedarnath, to be directed by Abhishek Kapoor whose credits include
Rock On!! Sara will star opposite Sushant Singh Rajput. Speaking about
Kedarnath, Abhishek Kapoor said, "
Kedarnath is a love story set on a pilgrimage. I believe it is important to look inwards as filmmakers and soak in the vast beauty of this country, its culture and its stories. Our country is a treasure trove of spiritual experiences, and I would like to present that to our people. I believe
Kedarnath is a story that the world will want to watch.''
There is already a lot of hype in the media about Sara's debut.
Amrita Singh is the one shortlisting the scripts for her daughter. Abhishek Kapoor spoke about Sara's casting: "We are a filmmaking company, and we will strive to tell stories with those who fit our vision the best. Casting newcomers is not a deliberate move but a natural process. Sara is a beautiful bundle of energy. The new talent we bring in today will be the future of the industry.''
Abhishek Kapoor's last film
Fitoor turned out to be a disaster at the box office. He is now looking forward to making a successful comeback. "I have seen many failures in my life. From my career as an actor to my directorial debut, failure teaches you a lot.
Fitoor taught me that every idea comes with a certain budget and one needs to operate within that,'' he said.
Not just the director of the film but the lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput too is hoping
Kedarnath does well as his last film
Raabta with Kriti Sanon turned out to be a big dud. Here's hoping debutante Sara Ali Khan brings some good luck for these two men in desperate need of a hit.
