Sara Ali Khan, who is currently filming her debut film Kedarnath opposite Sushant Singh Rajput, has bagged her second movie even before the release of her maiden venture. The untitled film will be jointly produced by Anushka Sharma and Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor under Clean Slate Films and KriArj Entertainment respectively.
"The project will be a social drama. When Anushka (Sharma), Karnesh (Sharma), Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor were scouting for a female lead, they zeroed in on Sara. Prernaa and Arjun have worked with her in Kedarnath and they like her dedication. When they narrated the script to Sara, she loved it,” a source reveals.
Earlier, there were reports that Abhishek Kapoor, the director of Kedarnath, did not want Sara to sign her second project before the release of her debut film. But the newbie did not pay much heed to her mentor's advice and gave her nod to Anushka Sharma's film.
"Kedarnath’s release has been delayed due to the winter in north India, pushing the release to the end of next year. Sara didn’t wish to wait that long,” the source reveals.
Clean Slate Films and KriArj Entertainment's spokespersons have confirmed the news: "Yes, we have had a casual meeting with Sara, but currently, we are focusing all our energies on our next release, Pari."
