Sanjay Dutt not playing Alia Bhatt’s father in ‘Sadak 2’

Since the cast was announced for ‘Sadak 2’, there’s been speculation over how the story would move forward since the first instalment in 1991.

A section of the media had reported that Sanjay Dutt would play the father of Alia Bhatt in the film. However, this has turned out to be untrue after an interview by Mahesh Bhatt recently denied it. He said that Dutt would reprise the role of Ravi from the first film.

A source said, “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, Mahesh said, “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 is just this.”

The film releases in March 2020.
