On August 6, Disney+ Hotstar announced the date for the digital premiere of the much-awaited Hindi film Sadak 2. The film stars Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt in prominent roles. Helmed by veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Sadak 2 will hit the digital streaming platform on 28th August as part of their new section Disney+ Hotstar Multiplex.
Alia Bhatt, who worked under her filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt’s direction for the first time, took to her Twitter handle to announce that the film will premiere on August 28. “Sadak 2, the road to love streaming on Disney+ Hotstar VIP from 28 August,” read her tweet.
Talking about what led her to sign the film, Alia had earlier said, “Sadak 2 is a movie that is very close to my heart. It was my first time working with my father, which makes this a dream come true. It has a very new but relevant emotional pulse, with an amazing cast. Working with Aditya, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja has been magical. These are extraordinary and difficult times and all of us are trying to get through it, taking each day at a time. My father always says that a filmmaker’s destination is the audience’s heart. Disney+ Hotstar VIP gives us that opportunity to connect with our audience all across the country.”
Sadak 2 is a sequel to the 1991 musical hit Sadak, starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt. The sequel marks the directorial comeback of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt after a huge gap of two decades. He last helmed Kartoos (1999), starring Manisha Koirala, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff.
The additional cast of Sadak 2 includes Jisshu Sengupta, Makarand Deshpande, Gulshan Grover, Priyanka Bose, Mohan Kapur, and Akshay Anand.
That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.
So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.

So, what is the place actually like?
With an estimated value of £24 million, (Rs 250 crore) it is six floors stacked up on that prized Pali Hill plot. That video leak a few months back really blew up. Alia was furious, and rightly so, someone just filmed the place and posted on social media. We all saw a raw, unauthorized peek because of it. The home seems to have tiered gardens on the terrace, like a modern take on a classic Mumbai bungalow.

Why does this Pali Hill move matter so much?
That land is Kapoor history. Tearing down the original house was a gamble. Neetu ji, Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter Raha, all under one roof now. Four generations in one building. On top of that, it's during Diwali. It is about lighting lamps in a new space that is actually full of old memories. They also sent a note to the media politely asking for privacy around their new Pali Hill home.

What is happening on the work front?
As if moving house is not chaotic enough, Alia is still riding the high from her Filmfare win for Jigra. Her sixth. She put up a post calling it a project close to her heart, and you can tell she is not just using a press release line. Now the industry chatter is all about their next big one. They are teaming up again for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, with Vicky Kaushal in the mix too.
