'Kedarnath' is a story of star-crossed lovers, set amid the devastating 2013 floods in the temple town. Days after the release of its teaser, the film ran into trouble with priests of the shrine protesting what they called ‘love jihad’. The film shows a Muslim potter falling in love with Hindu pilgrim girl. Meanwhile, Sara prepares for the release of 'Simmba' on December 28, where she will be seen as the love interest of the film’s hero Ranveer Singh.
