Sadak 2 is among the Disney + Hotstar’s Multiplex collection which included Sushant Singh Rajput’s Dil Bechara and Kunal Kemmu’s Lootcase, and forthcoming releases such as The Big Bull and Bhuj: The Pride of India.
Sadak 2 is directed by Mahesh Bhatt and it also stars Pooja Bhatt, who played principal protagonist in the 1991 film. Sadak, also directed by Mahesh Bhatt, featured Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt in the lead roles and it went on become one of the highest earning films of the year.
Earlier , on Sanjay Dutt‘s birthday, Pooja Bhatt divulged that it was the “belief and absolute conviction” of the 61-year-old actor which ensured the sequel to Sadak.
In a long instagram post Pooja wrote … The man who made Sadak 2 happen in the first place – Sanjay Dutt. If it wasn’t for his belief and absolute conviction that Sadak had to have a sequel it would never have happened. And it was only him that could convince my father to direct again… Thank you for setting us all off on this life changing journey.” Mahesh Bhatt last directed Sanjay Dutt in Kartoos in 1999.
The film, which was scheduled for a July theatrical release, marks her first collaboration with father Mahesh Bhatt, who is returning to the director’s chair after two decades. Sadak 2 is the sequel to the filmmaker’s 1991 film, which also stars original leads Mahesh Bhatt’s elder daughter Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt, along with another new entrant Aditya Roy Kapur.
Alia Bhatt Says : The whole family is coming to make a film like SADAK 2 together. That emotion is of another level altogether.
Working on the film was a homecoming in its true sense, Alia said. “That the whole family is coming to make a film together. That emotion is of another level altogether. I always wanted to be picturised in a song from the Bhatt camp, which has been famous for its music,” she added.
The original followed a taxi driver (Sanjay) trying to rescue the woman he loves (Pooja) from a brothel. It also featured Sadashiv Amrapurkar as the iconic villain Maharani, the brothel owner and actor Soni Razdan, Alia’s mother. According to the 27-year-old actor, the new movie is the re-creation of 1991 film of the same name.
“The story of Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) will move forward. He meets these two new people (Alia-Aditya)”
The film has different love stories and also has (an element of) thrill. The villain is someone very different and totally unexpected,” Alia said.
Revealing the first poster of the film, produced by Vishesh Films and Fox Star Studios, which showed Mount Kailash at the end of a long road she read out a message from her father, Alia said the sequel will take viewers on “the mother of all love pilgrimages. “Mount Kailash, the ageless mountain, has the footprints of gods and sages.
Mount Kailash is the abode of the god of all gods, Lord Shiva. So do we really need anything else or actors in that sacred space? Since the beginning of time humanity found its shelter in Kailash. This is a place where all search ends. Sadak 2 is the road to love,” she said.
Sadak 2 featured Gulshan Grover and Makarand Deshpande in supporting roles.
