Sadak 2 to be helmed by Pooja Bhatt

The second highest grosser of 1991, Sadak is gearing up for a sequel. Starring Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, the movie was loved enormously by the audience and critics alike upon its release.

After 26 years of release, a sequel to the film was announced last year with much fanfare. But due to various reasons, Sadak 2 was put on hold for some time. However, the makers are now ready to begin work on the project with full force. But before the movie goes to the sets, an important revelation has been made by some industry sources.


As we all know that filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who helmed the original film, has taken retirement from direction. So, for Sadak 2, his daughter Pooja Bhatt, who played the female lead in Sadak, is expected to wield the megaphone. Interestingly, apart from calling the shots, she will also act in the movie, reprising her role from the original film along with Sanjay Dutt.

Talking about other actors in the movie, Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter and Pooja Bhatt’s step-sister Alia Bhatt will play the female lead in Sadak 2. Actor Sidharth Malhotra is also rumored to be a part of it.

An official announcement of the film along with other necessary details is expected to be made by the makers soon.
