Alia Bhatt was thrilled when father Mahesh Bhatt announced Sadak 2. She had never expected her father to step out of his retirement to direct a film starring her, so needless to say, Alia has been on cloud nine.

In conversation with a leading publication, Alia shed light on her equation with her father and how it has changed in the recent past, "In these last two years, I’ve witnessed a switch in my relationship with my father. I had never thought that I would ever have this kind of an equation with him. He was always very busy when I was young. Now that I am working, I understand why he was so caught up. But the relationship that I share with him today is solely because of the time, affection and attention that he has given in building and nurturing it.”

She explained what she felt when her father narrated Sadak 2 to her and how it made her feel that no one could direct the film but the ace director himself. “When I heard the story, I told him what Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) had already said, that I cannot do this film if you are not directing it. I was not just in tears, but I was sobbing and shaking at the end of it. He put up the most creative narration that I have heard in my life with the music and the beats. It was so earnest that it broke my heart," shared Alia.

She further added,"Sanju recently told me, ‘Alia you don’t know what you are getting into. You have no idea what it is to be directed by your father’. At the shoot of the picture with the cast, I got a glimpse of it. And to tell you the truth, I am scared for my life because if that’s the kind of emotional journey that we are going to go on for I don’t know how many odd days, I think I may just end up being born again.”

We all know how Mahesh Bhatt's films truly take you to a place how no other filmmaker can. Cannot wait to see how this dream-team and the much-awaited project blossoms in near future.
