Since the film is special for various reasons, Mahesh is excited to be working with his daughters but is equally thrilled to direct Sanjay again after 23 years. Speaking about it, he said, "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."
It is interesting to note that the original Sadak had established both Mahesh and Sanjay as two of the strongest pillars of the Hindi film industry. Moreover, Pooja and Sanjay were praised for their chemistry in Sadak and thus a sequel with the original cast definitely seemed like a good idea. But what more will Alia and Aditya add to the film, is still left to be seen.
Sadak 2 will be presented by Mahesh and Vishesh Films and produced by Mukesh Bhatt.
