Subhash Ghai Talks About Flak Received By Sadak 2; Reveals Plans To Make Khal Nayak Returns With Sanjay Dutt

The trailer of Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjay Dutt starrer Sadak 2 was shared by makers last week. While the film was one of the most awaited releases of the year, it ended up receiving a lot of criticism amid the nepotism debate which came back to limelight after Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise. Netizens strived to make it the most disliked video on internet and many didn’t even watch it before clicking on the dislike button. While Janhvi Kapoor’s Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl also received hate, it was nothing compared to the flak that Sadak 2 trailer got.

Talking about the same in a chat with Mid-Day, filmmaker Subhash Ghai shared, “I feel, that from time to time, certain fireworks are going to burst. And they subside on their own, too, after some time. 'Satyameva Jayated' is the principle what I believe in. The truth will always emerge victoriously.” He went on to say that there’s nothing else besides truth. Subhash ji also feels that there's a lot of anger and resentment now but these things will settle down and eventually pass away. He stated, “Ultimately, even people will realise that rushing into things and pulling each other down isn't okay. So, people will get out of thins negative phase after a time and enter into a positive light.”

The filmmaker also spoke about Sanju baba, who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and said that the actor has grown before his eyes. Recalling his journey, Subhash ji shared that he knows Sanjay since the actor was just 10 years old. “His second film, Vidhaata, after Rocky, was made by me. Then came Khal Nayak, which was a big hit, a monumental film of his life, and that, too, was with me. In fact, we were planning to make Khal Nayak Returns together. Obviously, I pray to God that his health improves because he is a very strong person. He has seen many crossed in life.”

Do you think the nepotism debate will have an impact on reviews received by Sadak 2? Guess we’ll have to wait and watch. Sadak 2 will premiere on Disney+Hotstar on 28^th August 2020.
