Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s Sadak 2 (2020) will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on 28 August. It is among the seven films which will be released on the online platform over the next few months as part of its 'First Day First Show Ki Home Delivery’.
The film, starring Sanjay Dutt, Pooja Bhatt, Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur, is a sequel to the director's Sadak (1991), which starred Dutt and Pooja Bhatt.
The makers have also released a poster of the film, in which we can see three people marching on a highway towards the distant peak of Mount Kailash. Even though one can only see their backs, it is quite evident that they are Alia Bhatt, Dutt and Kapur.

Mahesh Bhatt returns to direction after more than 20 years with this film. His last released film was Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan (1999), which starred Saif Ali Khan, Twinkle Khanna and Chunky Pandey.
The film also sees Pooja Bhatt making her comeback to acting. The last film that she acted in was Rahul Bose’s Everybody Says I’m Fine (2001), but her last released film was Lawrence D’Souza’s Sanam Teri Kasam (2009). The film had gone on floors in the early 1990s, but was released a decade later.
Sadak 2 also marks Alia's first lead role with Vishesh Films after her small role as the young Preity Zinta in Sangharsh (1999).
