Last week, After Hrs was the first to tell you how Sara Ali Khan was in trouble with her Kedarnath makers, after her management agency gave the same dates to Rohit Shetty’s Simmba. Dad Saif Ali Khan too had to intervene, but soon after, the producers filed a lawsuit against the newbie demanding Rs 5 crore as damages. The case was to be heard today.

Says a source from the team, “When Kedarnath landed into trouble and was stalled after a fallout between Abhishek Kapoor (Gattu) and Prernaa Arora, the agency that manages the newbie actress gave bulk dates in June and July to Rohit and Karan Johar for Simmba. Now that Ronnie Screwvala has come on board and is backing Kedarnath, Gattu and he wanted the same dates from Sara to complete their movie. They decided to take a legal recourse soon.”

But now, we hear that the filmmakers have settled the matter amicably out of court. The source reveals, “Rohit and Gattu had a talk. Ronnie, too, was present at the meeting. The three filmmakers met on Sunday to discuss the matter. Karan (Johar) couldn’t be there as he’s holidaying in the US. They have come to a mutual agreement.” The source adds, “Sara will shoot simultaneously for Kedarnath and Simmba. While she films Simmba, the Kedarnath team will complete the portions that don’t include her and vice versa. The directors have worked it out.”
