Mahesh Bhatt’s dream project Sadak 2, with which the filmmaker returns to direction after a whopping 23 years, is inarguably one of the most anticipated sequels. Sadak 2, which features Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles, is slated to release this year on November 15, 2019. Sadak 2 has been in the news for quite some time now and now, to raise the excitement bar, the makers have revealed some interesting character details of Alia  from the multi starrer film. Yes, you read that right! Alia, who took to social media to announce that she is part of Sadak 2 on Bhatt’s 70th birthday, will play a character, who exposes a fake guru running an ashram. Sadak 2: ‘Tumhe Apna Banane Ki Kasam’ From Sadak to be Remade for The Alia Bhatt-Aditya Roy Kapur Starrer 

A Mumbai Mirror report quoted a source close to the development as saying, "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."

Meanwhile, talking about the film, Mahesh Bhatt told the tabloid, "Sadak 2 is about love, loss and redemption. To simplify a heartfelt narrative like this is to falsify it. You would be trivialising the essence of the film by suggesting that Sadak 2 is just this." Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt Starrer Sadak 2 to Release on March 25, 2020 – Read Official Announcement

While we think, Gulshan Kumar, who is playing a pivotal role in Sadak 2, could be the fake Godman in the film, Bhatt clarified, "He is not. We have a ‘great’ actor playing that part. But Gulshan plays a very important part as well." Men Don’t Age in India, Says ‘Sadak 2’ Star Pooja Bhatt

We are aware that the original film Sadak, which is still vivid in the audience's minds, was based on the life of a young man who falls in love with a sex worker and the ordeals he faces while overcoming the social stigmas and other factors. However, the sequel will talk about the journey of a young girl (Alia Bhatt’s character) and how she becomes instrumental in helping Sanjay Dutt’s character of a drug abuse survivor, stay alive.

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt, who is one of the top actresses right now has many projects in her kitty, was last seen in Kalank and will next be seen in Ayan Mukerji's upcoming film Brahmastra. The actress will be seen pairing up with her beau Ranbir Kapoor on the screen for the first time in Ayan Mukerji's ambitious project. Stay tuned to LatestLY for more updates.
