The day is finally here when Mahesh Bhatt will proudly direct his daughters - Alia and Pooja Bhatt together. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, the Raazi actress announced her next project, Sadak 2, with her daddy dearest. And we wonder if this was some sort of birthday present for the ace director. Joining the film's star cast with the Bhatt sisters are Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur. The film is essentially a sequel and not a remake, so the ones who believed that Alia will be stepping in her elder sister's shoes, here's some revelation for you. Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt Starrer Sadak 2 to Release on March 25, 2020 - Read Official Announcement

It's interesting to note that Alia took six years to sign a film with her home banner. The actress marked her debut in B-town with Karan Johar's Student of the Year 2 in 2012 and since then there's no looking back for her. Of course, she was always bombarded with questions pertaining to her collaboration with her father and sister. In fact, she even revealed why she didn't sign any previous movies with her home banner. In one of her earlier interviews with Bombay Times, she mentioned why it's taking her so long to sign a Vishesh Film. She had said,  "My father says that I shouldn’t do a film with him just because I am supposed to… I should work with the home banner only when I want to. If we are collaborating creatively for the first time, it should be on something that makes all of us happy”. So guess, Sadak 2 fitted in all the right categories and there was no better project that was so close to their hearts. Alia Bhatt Reveals How Her Mentor Karan Johar Advised Her To NOT Work in Kapoor and Sons!

Interestingly there were rumours that Alia and Sidharth Malhotra may come together for Aashiqui 3, a film that should be credited for resurrecting Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur's careers. Guess those talks were simple rumours and the actress was always determined to sign Sadak 2 with them.
