It has been more than two-decade since Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has directed a movie. After entertaining the audience with movies like Sadak, Daddy, Aashiqui, Naam and many more, he is set to return as a director, years later, with Sadak 2, a sequel to his 1991’s hit Sadak which starred his eldest daughter Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt

His last project being Ajay Devgn, Pooja Bhatt, Sonali Bendre, Kunal Khemu and Nagarjuna starrer Zakhm in 1998, Bhatt agreed to don the director’s hat to revive Sanjay Dutt’s failing Bollywood career for the second time, first time being with Naam in 1986, and not because he wanted to collaborate with his daughter Alia Bhatt.

The 60-year-old actor failed to garner much box-office recognition after he was prosecuted for carrying arms in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. As per a recent report from Deccan Chronicle states, that the director-producer is eager to revamp Sanjay’s glory as a superstar.

A source close to the development told the leading daily, “Mahesh was coaxed out of retirement from direction not because he wanted an opportunity to work with his daughter, Alia Bhatt, but because he felt obligated to put Sanjay Dutt back on his feet. Bhatt Sahab’s logic was simple. If a biopic on Dutt (Raju Hirani’s Sanju) can evoke so much enthusiasm, what stops Dutt from reclaiming his earlier stardom? We will soon have an answer!”

While Sadak 2 will be a collaboration between Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Bhatt after twenty-one years, the movie also stars Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pooja Bhatt, Gulshan Grover and Makarand Deshpande in pivotal roles. The movie is slated to arrive on 10th July 2020.
