The director sent a touching tribute to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput on Instagram. He shared a couple previously unseen photos from the sets with the actor and said, "It still raises my hair to think of the sheer passion and the absolute devotion it took to make this saga see the light of day… But the fruits of one's labour taste the sweetest when you know you dropped every last shred of sweat to sow them in the first place.. Immensely grateful to the entire cast & crew for braving this endeavour to the T. Amidst all the gratitude and love, I can't help but be reminded of the grave loss of this extraordinary soul who remains etched to the legacy of this film. I can still feel Mansoor there in the sacred mountainscapes looking right back at me with his characteristic smile reflecting all the innocence & beauty in this world."
The film was released on December 7, 2018 in the United States. The film garnered mixed reviews, although the lead actors' performances were praised. Today marks the three-year anniversary of the film Kedarnath, starring Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan. Abhishek Kapoor is the director of the film. In addition, it was Sara's first film.
