Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt broke his vow to not direct a project and returned to helm Sadak 2, which released in 2020. However, he has no plans to do the same anymore. In an interview with MoneyControl, he said he is too outdated to make a film now.
He has directed over 50 films in his career. Mahesh hung up his directorial boots in 1999 with the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Kartoos. He broke his promise and helmed Sadak 2 starring his actor daughter Alia Bhatt. The film was a sequel to his 1991 drama, Sadak. but opened to scathing reviews upon its release in 2020.
