The filmmaker taking to Twitter wrote: "आज #धनतेरस #Dhanteras के शुभ दिन पर, भोलेनाथ का नाम लेकर... आइये, #Kedarnath यात्रा का आरम्भ करतेहै, #NamoNamo (sic)"



Sung and composed by Amit Trivedi, the song has been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.


Kedarnath, which has been news since its inception made headlines for multiple reasons. The producers of the film had issues with the director and the shoot was put on hold for a few weeks. It took a while for the film to complete and after much delay, the release date of the film was announced.


The controversy-stricken film landed has landed in trouble once again. Reports suggest that priests of Uttarakhand's Char Dham have alleged that the film (a love story of a girl and a boy belonging to different faiths) hurts their religious sentiments. A few people have even demanded a ban on the film.


The film marks the debut of Sara Ali Khan (daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh). The 23-year-old is already very popular on social media and has a huge fan following.


Sara will have another release in the same month. Her second film Simmba will hit theatres on December 28. The Rohit Shetty directorial stars Ranveer Singh and Sonu Sood and is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.


Kedarnath is an important film for Sushant as he hasn't had a great time at the Box Office since M.S.Dhoni - The Untold Story in 2016. His previous release Raabta proved to be a dud. 


Kedarnath releases on December 7.
