Trivia

Album

• This was a sequel to "Sadak" (1991). Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt reprised their roles in "Sadak" (1991) in this film. It was Mahesh Bhatt's return to film direction after more than two decades. His last released film as a director before this was "Kartoos" (1999).[1][2]
• Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death by suicide in June 2020 triggered a debate over nepotism in the Hindi film industry. Many believed that Rajput had lost out on opportunities because filmmakers preferred to cast children of industry insiders. The film got caught up in the debate since it featured industry insiders like Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Pooja Bhatt. It was the first time Mahesh Bhatt directed his daughter Alia. Some groups also claimed that the film hurt "Hindu sentiments". Its trailer went on to become one of the most disliked YouTube videos ever.[3][4][5]
• It was announced in May 2019 that the film would be released in July 2020. This did not happen due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and it was released directly on Hotstar in August 2020.[6]
• The film had a scene in which Aditya Roy Kapur's character broke a 'mala' and flushed the beads down the toilet. This scene was inspired by an event from director Mahesh Bhatt's own life. Years ago, Bhatt had done the same when he had gotten disillusioned by his experience at Osho Rajneesh's ashram.[7]
