Sara Ali Khan's role in 'Kedarnath' will remind you of Hema Malini. Here's why

Unit hands of Abhishek Kapoor's Kedarnath describe lead actor Sara Ali Khan as a silent listener, eager to learn the ropes of filmmaking on the sets of her debut outing. Interestingly, her character in the film will be at odds.

mid-day has learnt that in order to play the part of a priest's daughter, who falls for a pithoo, Saif Ali Khan's girl will draw inspiration from Hema Malini's iconic character, Basanti, from Sholay (1975). A unit member says, "It is wonderful to see how Sara is pulling off this role. She is a happy-go-lucky girl, who speaks in Hindi and English. She is loud, talkative and chirpy; someone who doesn't let anyone get a word in when she's talking. This is exactly how Basanti was." Khan's attire too will reflect her boisterous nature, with vivid shades defining her wardrobe. "Her clothes are as bright as wedding attire. Her character's moods reflect in the colour palette -- from light blues and subtle shades early in the film, to loud and brighter hues later, when she is in a happier place."
