Now, the latest reports suggest that the landscape of the European country didn’t really meet their vision following which they decided to shoot the portions in Mumbai. Confirming the same to Mumbai Mirror, producer Mukesh Bhatt said, “Yes, it’s true. We didn’t find locations like Mumbai in Romania, so we would be shooting those portions here. The film will also be shot in other parts of India. The creative decision to not go ahead with Romania was taken by Mahesh, who is directing the film. We are putting up a set at Mehboob studio in Bandra where Sanjay and Alia will join us on the first day in mid-May.”
Before travelling to Romania, the team of Sadak 2 had reportedly also travelled to Kedarnath and Rishikesh for a recce too.
Well, apart from shooting in Mumbai, let us tell you, Alia Bhatt will be lending her voice for a song in the film. Confirming the same, Alia had earlier told Cineblitz,
