starring Sanjay Dutt, Pooja Bhatt and the late
Sadashiv Amrapurkar. Titled Sadak, the film
went on to acclaim cult status.
Now, Sadak 2 is in the works and will see
the reunion of Sanjay and Pooja as they will
be seen reprising their characters.
According to a leading daily, joining Sanjay
and Pooja will be rumoured lovebirds
Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt who will
play a young couple in the movie.
A source revealed to a leading tabloid,
"Earlier, there were speculations that
Sidharth and Alia are doing Mohit Suri's next
directorial project, Aashiqui 3, but the film
has been put on hold. Instead, Vishesh Films
has cast them for Sadak 2. While the film's
director is yet to be finalised, they want to
finish the casting process so that the film
can go on floors soon."
I guess now we know why we spotted
Sidharth and Alia at Mahesh Bhatt's office on
various occasions!
Recently, Pooja spoke at length with a
leading daily's weekly magazine about
making Sadak 2 and revealed, "The story will
start from where we left it. It is difficult to
imagine Sadak without Maharani (played by
the late Sadashiv Amrapurkar), but it would
be incomplete without Sanjay Dutt."
Meanwhile, Mahesh had said to a leading
tabloid, "Sanjay who was 32 when we made
the original, comes back as a 54-year-old
Ravi into the 21st-century world that is
collapsing in front of his eyes, where the
distinction between the house and the
sadak' is fast disappearing. The story has
the emotional connect of the films I made
back in the '90s which brought a lump to
the throats of the viewer. I could see that in
the reaction of those present at the
narration. They were visibly moved."
