Alia Bhatt, who is busy filming for Ranbir Kapoor's Brahmastra and Ranveer Singh's Gully Boy, might delay Mahesh Bhatt's Sadak 2

Alia Bhatt has been roped in for the sequel of father Mahesh Bhatt's 1991 directorial venture, Sadak. While the film was expected to hit screens in August, it looks unlikely, thanks to Alia's packed schedule. The actor, who recently wrapped up Meghna Gulzar's Raazi, reportedly left for Israel with Ranbir Kapoor and Ayan Mukerji, her Brahmastra co-star and director respectively.

The superhero film will be shot in three parts. After wrapping up the project's first schedule, Alia will start shooting for Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh. A source tells mid-day that Sadak 2, which pairs Alia with rumoured beau Sidharth Malhotra, has suffered because of her other projects. "Alia is juggling Brahmastra and Gully Boy. While the former releases in 2019, the latter is scheduled to hit screens later this year. Alia will also be busy promoting Raazi for a couple of months, as it releases in May. So, Sadak 2 has been postponed. It will roll by the end of 2018."

The sequel will take off from Sadak lead actor, Sanjay Dutt's character taking a leap of 26 years. When mid-day reached out to Alia, she refused to comment on the project. "Whenever I'll work in my father's production, the news will be out there for everyone to know. As of now, I can't reveal anything."
