24 Feb 2018

Earlier we had reported that the sequel to the 90s film Sadak, though a long way away from going on floors, had been locked for release in August 2018. In fact, initial reports stated that though the lead cast of the film had not yet been finalized, Sadak 2 would see Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt who featured in lead roles in the original, playing integral parts in the second film as well. However, now we hear that Alia Bhatt has been finalized to play the lead in the film while Pooja Bhatt will direct it. As per reports, Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt had convinced Mahesh Bhatt to develop a script for Sadak 2.In fact, after he had completed the script for this sequel, Mahesh Bhatt had revealed that the sequel would focus on the modern-day scenario where the distinction between the house and the sadak is fast disappearing. If that wasnt all, Bhatt had also stated that the script of Sadak 2 would make people believe in love at a time when its very easy to walk out of a relationship. Interestingly, though there is no confirmation, with reports claiming that Pooja Bhatt would also feature in the film with Sanjay Dutt, one wonders if Sadak 2 will in fact be a continuation from the previous film. Back on the casting front, though Alia Bhatt has been finalized for the lead, contrary to reports of Sidharth Malhotra being roped in, we hear that the makers of the film are currently on the lookout for a male lead to star opposite Alia. For Sadak 2, music will obviously be a big USP with two tracks by Jeet Gannguli already being finalized. The official announcement of the film and other details are expected to be made in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt seems to have a packed schedule with back to back films in the form of Meghna Gulzars Raazi , followed by Zoya Akhtars Gully Boy opposite Ranveer Singh and later, Ayan Mukerji s Brahmastra that sees her sharing screen space with Ranbir Kapoor.Also Read: Brahmastra: Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt strike a pose during the training session in Bulgaria
