Mumbai: With coronavirus cases rising day by day and theatres being shut, producer Mukesh Bhatt has confirmed that Mahesh Bhatt’s directorial Sadak 2 will have a digital release. Mukesh said that this was a decision he had been compelled to take given the uncertain future.

“I don’t see things returning to normal anytime in future, so I am compelled to go in for a digital release of Sadak 2. There are certain things that you do, not out of choice but out of compulsion. This is the only option left. It is a no-brainer,” he added.
