Alia Bhatt to star in half-sister Pooja Bhatt’s directorial Sadak 2?

Looks like the makers of the forthcoming Hindi film Sadak 2 have finally decided to speed up the process and take the project on the shooting floor. According to reports, the casting for the movie is locked with Alia Bhatt playing the female lead in it.

Sadak 2 will be a sequel to the Mahesh Bhatt directed musical hit Sadak which released in 1993. Starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt, the movie is remembered even today, thanks to its innumerable repeats on television.


Unlike Sadak, its sequel will be helmed by Pooja Bhatt. It will be the first time when half-sisters Pooja and Alia collaborate on a film. Besides calling the shots, Pooja will also reprise her role in the sequel. Superstar Sanjay Dutt will also be seen in an important role in the movie.

Though no official announcement has been made, insiders reveal that the makers are planning to start the shoot early next year. The film is scheduled to release in November, 2019.
