Mumbai, Nov 29 (NationPress) Filmmaker and actress Pooja Bhatt recently shared a heartfelt moment she had with Sanjay Dutt, revealing that the actor was eager to revive the magic of their 1991 film “Sadak”, which ultimately inspired its sequel.

Sadak was a romantic action thriller directed by Mahesh Bhatt, featuring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt. The film became one of the top-grossing movies of 1991.

Pooja discussed the origins of “Sadak 2” in her podcast, The Pooja Bhatt Show, during a conversation with actor Avtar Gill.

“I recall meeting Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) in Delhi, and he kicked off our conversation by expressing his wish to create Sadak 2. I mentioned that it wasn't my forte and spoke to Mukesh Bhatt about it. He insisted I converse with Sanjay directly. When I brought it up, Bhatt Saab asked, ‘What’s his motivation for making it?’”

Pooja unveiled the true reason behind Sanjay's enthusiasm for “Sadak 2”, stating, “He told me he missed the atmosphere on the sets.”

Avtar added, “He expressed the same sentiment to me.”

Pooja continued, “While we filmed, the exchanges between shots were what contributed to our work.”

Avtar also mentioned how he shared an old photo with Sanjay Dutt, who was thrilled to reminisce about the past.

Sadak 2 serves as a sequel to the original Sadak, starring Sanjay Dutt reprising his original role, alongside Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur, with Pooja Bhatt making a special appearance. The film marked Mahesh Bhatt's return to directing after two decades, unfolding twenty-nine years after the events of the first film.
