A source close to the film told the daily that Alia’s character sets out to unmask a godman in the film. “Alia’s character is out to expose a fake guru who runs an ashram. She is accompanied by Sanjay’s (Dutt) character in this journey. Sanjay has already started prep with Bhatt saab. They start shooting in a fortnight,” said the source.
When contacted about the film, Mahesh Bhatt said the film is much more than this. “Sadak 2 is about love, loss and redemption. To simplify a heartfelt narrative like this is to falsify it. You would be trivialising the essence of the film by suggesting that Sadak is just this,” he said. He also added that while Gulshan Grover has a part in the film, he is not playing the godman. “We have a great actor playing that part,” Bhatt said. He added that he will reveal the actor’s name when he signs the contract.
However, when asked about the reported plot of the film, director Mahesh Bhatt told Mumbai Mirror: “Sadak 2 is about love, loss and redemption. To simplify a heartfelt narrative like this is to falsify it. You would be trivialising the essence of the film by suggesting that Sadak 2 is just this.”
