'That's my father, now also my director, holding the clap'

Today is Day 1 of Sadak 2. And that's my father, now also my director, holding the clap. I begin shoot in a few days and honestly, I’m petrified. I feel like a tiny mouse trying to climb a beautiful, immense, emotional mountain. I hope I make it to the top and if I fall I hope I’m able to get up again. It’s a tough climb but from everything I’ve seen and everything I’ve heard, I know every single step and misstep will be worth it! Here's to movies, family, dreams and starting out on a brand NEW journey! And what a journey it’s going to be!!!! 🌟🙏🌞

Roles

Interestingly, Alia wasn't considered for 'Sadak 2' initially

Talking about Sadak 2, Mahesh had earlier revealed that Alia was not on his mind while writing the script. However, it was Dutt, Pooja, Mukesh (Bhatt, his brother), who suggested narrating the script to her. "We gave a full narration to her and by the end of it, she was left shaking and crying. That was one hell of a triumph," Mahesh added.

Apart from Sadak 2, Alia is also busy with Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, co-starring her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, and Amitabh Bachchan; and Karan Johar's another multi-starrer, Takht.
