Story highlights

Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan starrer 'Kedarnath' will release in the theatres on December 7, 2018. 

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday dismissed a PIL seeking a ban on the release of film ‘Kedarnath’ by calling the act as a "publicity stunt" by the petitioner.

The PIL stated that the film hurt the "religious sentiments" of Hindus. It was filed by Prakash Rajput, president of International Hindu Sena, who claimed in his plea that the movie hurt the sentiments of Hindus as it featured a Muslim boy falling in love with a Hindu girl.

It alleged that the film also featured kissing scenes at Kedarnath, a holy site, which would hurt the sentiments of people following Hindu religion. Watch trailer here.
