Actress Pooja Bhatt and her filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt have begun scouting for locations for their forthcoming film Sadak 2. In photos shared by the 46-year-old actress on Instagram, Pooja can be seen standing on a helipad with her father Mahesh Bhatt. Pooja, who will be returning to the silver screen after a span of over 15 years with Sadak 2, revealed that she will also work as an associate director of the film. "And our recce for Sadak 2 officially begins! Ready to fly into the skies with my father, not only as an actor, this time I work as his associate director as well," Pooja captioned the photo.
Sadak 2 was announced on filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's 70th birthday. Mahesh Bhatt, whose last film Kartoos released in 1999, is returning to the director's chair after a span of close to 20 years. For the first time, Alia Bhatt will be part of a project, which is being directed by her father. The film will also feature Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Pooja Bhatt and Sanjay Dutt - the lead actors of Sadak - and Aditya Roy Kapur.
The Mahesh Bhatt-directed Sadak, which released in 1991, was about a taxi driver Ravi (Sanjay Dutt), who falls in love with Pooja (Pooja Bhatt), a sex worker. Ravi fights against all odds to be with Pooja. The first installment also featured Soni Razdan, Neelima Azeem and Deepak Tijori.
Sadak 2 will hit the screens on March 25, 2020. Pooja Bhatt is the elder daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt with his ex-wife Kiran Bhatt, born as Loraine Bright. Alia and Shaheen are his children with Soni Razdan.
