Sanjay Dutt’s role in Sadak 2 revealed

Keeping the epic failure of Dharma Productions’ Kalank (2019) aside, Sanjay Dutt and Alia Bhatt are now gearing up to start the first schedule of their next film Sadak 2. As the title of the movie suggests itself, Sadak 2 is a sequel to the 1991 musical hit Sadak, which starred Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt in lead roles.

Since the makers officially announced the project last year, speculations have been rife about the characters that Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt will be playing in the much-awaited sequel.


Several media outlets have reported over the past few months that Dutt has been roped in to play Alia Bhatt’s father in the flick. However, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who is returning to direction after a massive gap of two decades, has rejected all reports as untrue. The ace filmmaker said that Dutt would reprise the role of Ravi from the original film.

A source also confirms the same, saying that Dutt’s character helps Alia in exposing a fake guru in the movie. “Alia’s character is out to expose a fake guru who runs an ashram. She is accompanied by Sanjay’s (Dutt) character in this journey. Sanjay has already started prep with Bhatt saab. They start shooting in a fortnight.”

Set to mount the shooting floor soon, Sadak 2 is scheduled to roll into cinemas on 25th March, 2020.

Joaquin Pedro Valdes on finding his place in London and challenging stereotypes in British theatre

Highlights

  • Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes left a career in filmmaking and advertising to pursue musical theatre in the UK, following his first love for the stage.
  • Now playing Benny in RENT, he wants audiences to see the character as a complicated human being rather than simply the villain.
  • Valdes believes Asian representation in British theatre has improved, but says producers and creative teams still have a long way to go.

Filipino actor Joaquin Pedro Valdes spent nine years working in filmmaking, directing commercials and advertising before deciding to pursue the one passion he could never leave behind. Theatre had been part of his life since childhood, but turning it into a full-time career meant leaving Manila, moving to the UK and rebuilding his professional life in a new country.

Now performing as Benny in the West End production of RENT, Valdes is drawing on his own experiences of ambition, financial pressure and belonging to explore a character who is often dismissed as the musical's antagonist. For him, Benny's story is about more than money. It is about someone who once belonged to a community but chose a different path in the hope of building a better life.
