Sadak 2 to kick-start next schedule in Ooty

After wrapping up the first shooting schedule of Sadak 2 in Mumbai a couple of weeks ago, the team will now head off to Ooty to kick-start the second schedule of the much-awaited film. As the name aptly reveals, Sadak 2 is a sequel to renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s musical hit Sadak (1991). While the original film had Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt headlining the cast, the sequel stars Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur in lead roles. Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt are also there reprising their roles in the sequel. What makes Sadak 2 even more special is the fact that it marks the directorial comeback of Mahesh Bhatt. He has donned a director’s hat after a gap of two decades.

Talking about the next schedule of the film, a source close to the team reveals to an entertainment portal. “The first schedule of the film happened in the third week of May at a suburban studio in Mumbai. That schedule lasted for a few days and majorly focused on Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt, who have been retained from the original. Sadak 2 is a continuation of the first part with Alia playing Sanjay and Pooja’s daughter in the film. Alia also shot for two days during the first schedule,” says the source.

Adding further, the source says, “Alia along with Aditya Roy Kapur will fly off to Ooty to kick-start the next schedule. Alia flies on the 16th and begins shoot the next day. Aditya, who was busy finishing Malang, completed his look test for Sadak 2 recently at Vishesh Films’ office. It will be a run-on schedule that will last for at least a few weeks now. It will primarily be about Alia and Adi’s love story in the project.”

Produced by Vishesh Films and Fox Star Studios, Sadak 2 is scheduled to release on July 10, 2020.

47% consumers are cancelling subscriptions: Is the $1.5 trillion economy starting to crack?

  • Streaming platforms are shifting aggressively to ad-supported tiers
  • Consumers underestimate subscription spending by up to 3x
  • Gen Z is normalising “subscribe-use-cancel” behaviour

Subscription businesses sold consumers a simple idea for years. Paying £9.99 every month felt easier than paying £300 upfront. That logic helped create a global subscription economy now valued at more than $1.5 trillion, spanning streaming, music, cloud storage, AI tools, fitness apps, gaming and even coffee memberships.

But the model that once looked unstoppable is entering a difficult phase as inflation, price fatigue and changing consumer behaviour collide. Around 47% of consumers cancelled at least one subscription this year, according to recent subscription industry surveys, while companies are increasingly shifting focus from rapid growth to customer retention.
