Mahesh Bhatt to direct Alia Bhatt in Sadak 2
It’s finally happening. The sequel to Sadak is a reality. According to sources, the film will star Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur and Pooja Bhatt. Going by the starcast, it seems that the film is a direct sequel to the original. The original also starred Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt, along with Deepak Tijori and Neelima Azim. However, the charactrers that Deepak and Neelima played were killed off before the climax. Sadak was a game changer at the time of release several reasons. This was one of the first action dramas and also the first time a transvestite character had such a big role in the film. That role was played by Sadashiv Amrapurkar.
This is the first time that Mahesh Bhatt will be directing daughter Alia Bhatt. This is also the first time that Pooja Bhatt and Alia Bhatt will be part of the same project. Sources say that while Mahesh Bhatt always wanted to make the sequel, it was Sanjay Dutt who encouraged him to do it now.
According to Bhatt, Dutt will now play a 54 year old man who is seeing that life is crumbling around him and there is little difference between the streets and homes.
The film will go on floors by the end of this month and will hit theaters in November, next year.
