Mahesh
Bhatt
Returns
Back
To
Direction
Announcing
the
film
today
on
his
70th
birthday,
Mahesh
Bhatt
was
quoted
as
saying
by
DNA,
"As
I
step
into
the
sunset
years
of
my
life,
the
last
act,
there's
something
that
has
happened
to
me.
Never
in
my
wildest
dreams
did
I
think
that
I
will
ever
hear
the
words
-
a
Mahesh
Bhatt
film
-
mentioned
around
me
again.
Alia
used
to
say,
‘Papa,
make
a
film'.
And
I
would
tell
her
that
I
am
like
an
extinct
volcano.
But
then,
suddenly
one
day,
the
volcano
was
rumbling.
You
know,
they
say
that
autumn
is
another
spring,
so
as
I
go
into
my
autumn
years,
it's
the
process
of
what
is
called
decomposition
or
decay,
that
too
is
a
way
of
life."
Mahesh
Bhatt
On
Reuniting
With
Sanjay
Dutt
"Don't
forget
that
the
two
years
he
spent
in
jail
haven't
been
tapped
into
by
anyone.
And
I
know
that
buried
in
there
is
that
unspoken
anguish,
which
I
had
tuned
in
to
during
the
making
of
Naam
(1986).
I
think
life
has
brought
us
a
full
circle.
If
there
ever
was
an
actor
who
has
trusted
me
and
went
on
to
become
a
star
purely
because
of
his
ability
to
surrender,
it's
Sanju.
He
is
like
that
lion,
who
perhaps
can
only
be
tamed
by
the
language
of
love."
Sanjay
Dutt
On
Starring
In
Sadak
2
"I'm
lucky
that
before
I
die,
I
get
to
work
with
the
man
I
love
the
most.
For
any
actor,
Bhatt
saab
is
a
dream
to
work
with.
My
last
film
with
him
was
Gumraah
(1993),
soon
after
he
quit
direction.
Ever
since,
I
have
done
many
films,
but
I
always
remember
him.
I
have
always
believed
that
one
day
he
will
get
back
on
the
field
and
make
that
one
epic.
I
know
what
I'm
signing
up
for
because
I've
worked
with
him
in
many
movies,
but
these
kids
don't
know
what
they
are
getting
into
(laughs)."
Alia
Bhatt
Opens
Up
About
Working
Under
Her
Home
Banner
"Every
time
I
was
asked
the
question,
with
a
little
bit
of
heaviness
in
my
heart,
I
would
say,
"My
dad
is
not
going
to
direct
and
he
has
told
me
this
time
and
again.
But
whenever
I
would
work
with
my
dad
and
his
company,
it
would
be
special."
Back
then,
I
used
to
say
it
because
it
was
the
right
thing
to
say,
but
little
did
I
know
that
I
was
putting
out
a
great
feeling
into
the
universe.
I
can't
call
this
just
another
special
experience
because
we'll
have
to
create
a
new
word
to
describe
it.
People
often
say
that
you
can
have
one
wish
fulfilled,
but
I
have
had
two
dreams
come
true
at
the
same
time.
One
is
to
be
an
actor
and
second
is
to
be
directed
by
my
father."
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor
On
Being
A
Part
Of
Sadak
2
"I
had
the
pleasure
of
having
Bhatt
saab
narrate
a
film
that
he
was
going
to
direct.
It
was
a
surreal
experience.
Every
20
minutes
I
wondered
if
he
wanted
to
take
a
break,
but
he
was
ready
to
keep
going.
He
was
enjoying
himself
so
much."
Talking
about
signing
the
film,
Aditya
says
it
wasn't
something
that
he
needed
to
contemplate
about.
"There
was
no
question
in
my
mind
about
joining
this
journey.
I
would
have
given
my
left
arm
to
be
a
part
of
it.
This
is
my
second
movie
with
Vishesh
Films.
The
first
project
with
them
changed
my
life,
so
I
don't
take
this
lightly
and
am
honoured
to
be
a
part
of
it."
