The first look poster features Mount Kailash and that has landed the film into legal trouble. Reportedly, on 2^nd July, a complaint was filed in the court against Alia Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt for hurting Hindu sentiments by using the picture of Kailash Mansarovar on the poster. Acharya Chandra Kishore Parashar, a resident of Sikandarpur in Uttar Pradesh, lodged the complaint through his advocate Sonu Kumar.

The complaint has been filed under IPC sections 295A (deliberately outraging religious feelings) and 120B (criminal conspiracy). 8^th July 2020 has been fixed as the hearing date.

Sadak 2 marks the directorial comeback of Mahesh Bhatt. The film was supposed to release on the big screen this July, but the makers have now decided to release it directly on the OTT platform.
