The Sara Ali Khan and Sushant Singh Rajput-starrer Kedarnath did not release in Uttarakhand, an official said yesterday. While there has be no official ban on the film by the state government, district magistrates had been asked to take a call on whether the Abhishek Kapoor-directed film should be released in their respective jurisdictions.

Following this, the district magistrates banned the movie's release in their respective districts. A decision to this effect was taken after a high-level meeting chaired by chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat reviewed the report submitted by a committee headed by Tourism Minister Satpal Maharaj.
