The Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Kedarnath is all set to re-release on big screen once cinemas reopen on 15 October, but a section of his fans are not happy. These fans feels the re-release is a ploy to monetise Sushant’s death for quick profits. On Wednesday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced on his verified Twitter account the names of several old films which will be re-released once the theatres re-open, the Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Kedarnath being one of them. “After the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the greedy producers want more money on the name of SSR.

A nice trick for making money but the audience is not fool now,” tweeted a user on Wednesday. “When Sushant was alive they didn’t give screens to his movie Kedarnath… now what’s the point in re-releasing it? Is he gonna benefit from it? Suicide or murder whatever bollywood did to him was wrong!” shared another user. “Don’t go to theater… Even for Kedarnath. He won’t get any benefit… His murderers will,” tweeted another user. A few even slammed the film’s director Abhsihek Kapoor, who is also a co-producer with wife Pragya.

“Shame on Abhishek Kapoor and Pragya Yadav for trying to monetise our Gulshan’s death by releasing Kedarnath in theaters now! Unless the money from ticket sales 100% go to SSR Foundation, we are not going to watch the movie in theaters,” suggested another user. Kedarnath cast Sushant opposite Sara Ali Khan in her debut role released on 7 December 2018.
