The trailer for the film, which marks Mahesh Bhatt’s first collaboration with younger daughter Alia Bhatt, was released on Wednesday, and has quickly become the most-disliked video on YouTube, less than 24 hours later. The trailer has received 4.5 million ‘dislikes’ on the video sharing platform, with a massively unfavourable ‘like-dislike’ ratio. With more than 15 million views, only 2,55,000 people have ‘liked’ the trailer. In addition to this, a musician has claimed that a song from the film, previously described as ‘brilliant’ by Pooja, has been lifted from his 2011 Pakistani composition.

Alia’s mother, Soni Razdan, reacted to Pooja’s tweet and wrote, “Smart girl and absolutely true.” Mahesh Bhatt had earlier said in a message that he isn’t bothered about the fate of the film. “Today as we begin the last leg of our journey.I feel unshackled! I carry no burden, no weight. No reputation to hold on to. No mission to accomplish. Nothing to prove to anyone. If the film works it belongs to all of you. If it does not, it’s mine,” he had shared, via Pooja

Sadak 2, a sequel to his 1991 film starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja, will be released on Disney+ Hotstar on August 28.
