Abhishek Kapoor on ‘Kedarnath’: It is one of the most important stories I can tell for modern India

Director Abhishek Kapoor, who is amidst the shoot of his forthcoming film Kedarnath, is known to have delivered successful newcomers. This time around, the Kai Po Che director is all set to launch Sara Ali Khan, who has been one of the most talked about debutant. 

Abhishek’s lead cast Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara, a fresh pair has managed to create a stir already. When asked Abhishek on how did Kedarnath happen, the director shared, “In my house, spirituality has been a guiding principle. I am a big believer of Shivji and the cosmic forces that oversee us. There are two kinds of people in the spiritual world. Those who are Believers, and those who are seekers. A believer has trust in the universe and a seeker is one who isn't but is trying to gain that trust. I have been both, and I have had some great experiences spiritually. I am ordinarily a seeker, but at times I have found myself fully immersed in God”

Talking about the story, Abhishek further added, “The incident of the floods in 2013 also could not leave my mind, due to the stories that came out of it - devastating and remarkable in equal measure. I had to go ahead and develop a film set against that backdrop. I believe it is one of the most important stories I can tell for modern India.”

Well, we cannot wait to witness this extraordinary story on the silver screen.
