Earlier in the day, DNA broke the news about the sequel of 1991 hit film Sadak being on the cards and how the office of Vishesh Films was all lit as the cast of Sadak 2- Sanjay Dutt, Pooja Bhatt, Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur get ready to shoot their very first film together under the direction of Mahesh Bhatt

The master storyteller, who had bid adieu to his career as a filmmaker, has returned from his hiatus to helm this project.

On the eve of his 70th birthday, Mahesh announced his much anticipated and speculated return to direction, while Alia Bhatt thanked his father for giving her the greatest present on his special day. 

Sadak was not only a commercial blockbuster but also went on to achieve cult status and etched itself in people’s hearts as one of the greatest love stories of the time, and is still remembered. 

With his trademark candor and brutal honesty, Mahesh Bhatt describes the feeling of being back in the drivers seat as director for Sadak 2

“Like the spider gets its thread from his own guts. The narrative of Sadak 2 is pulled out from my lived life. It's a film about living, loving and dealing with the anguish of the loss of a loved one," he said.

While sharing his excitement, Mahesh's brother Mukesh Bhatt added, "Though I have made so many films in the 32 years of Vishesh Films, Sadak has a very special place in my heart because it's one of the most iconic hits of my career. My gladiator Mahesh Bhatt is back to perform in the arena once again."

Mukesh also went on to say, "Sanjay Dutt and him (Mahesh) have a magical past and they share a bond which is beyond professional understanding. With Alia coming on board, Pooja being there and my daughter Sakshi, who is the co-producer of the film- The three sisters will be seen performing important roles. I feel it is a very emotional moment for me to see this happening. Sadak is not just a project for me, it is very close to my heart. I know this journey will be the most fulfilling experience that I have had in so many years as a filmmaker and I am looking forward to it." 

Sadak 2 is special on various levels, not only because Alia will work with her father for the first time, but also because she will share screen space with sister Pooja. 

Sanjay, who is extremely close to Mahesh Bhatt, reunites with him 23 years after Gumraah (1993), while Aditya, on the other hand, returns to the banner that gave him Aashiqui 2 (2013), which put his career on the fast track. 

A Mukesh Bhatt Presentation of a Mahesh Bhatt Film, Sadak 2 is a Vishesh Films Production and is slated to release on March 25, 2020.
