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.
