With social media raging with the nepotism debate, Sadak 2‘s poster had received a lot of hate from netizens saying they will boycott the film. Amidst the ongoing war of words between Kangana Ranaut‘s team and Pooja Bhatt, Pooja decided to reveal that Mahesh Bhatt was introducing new musical talent in Sadak 2. She took to Twitter to let everyone know about the same. She talked about how Sadak 2 is launching new talent in terms of a new music teacher who had no connections to the industry whatsoever.
Take a look:
Even #Sadak2 gives birth to a brand new talent in the form of @Suniljeet72 A music teacher from Chandigarh who came to our office with no prior appointment,a dream,a harmonium & a brilliant song called ‘Ishq Kamaal’ that was absorbed into the film on first hearing by my father.

While this gesture was greatly appreciated by singer Sona Mohapatra, she gave Pooja another suggestion. She suggested that music talent also be allowed a portion of the song’s success. Sona then went on to explain the problems that musicians usually face when it comes to their work. In a series of tweets, the singer goes on to explain how music composers and writers never get a stake in its success. She clears that she wasn’t blaming Pooja or the banner but merely pointing out the tragedy of the music business in India.
Check it out:
That is so nice Pooja.Your banner has been known to spot new talent for sure. Would mean so much more if these musicians had a stake in their music’s success? Everyone just ends up doing the favour of the ‘opportunity’ & this is an endless cycle in #Bollywood. Zero concept of IP. https://t.co/kfAXrXILR9

& not that I blame you or Vishvesh films. It is a systemic problem in our industry & country; ‘exploit or be exploited’. That music labels in India don’t have an A&R in place that discover, nurture and promote artists – the heart of modern music business is the biggest tragedy. https://t.co/I61FyoJIOL

& if your banner launches,promotes talent,helps reach a wider audience,it is perfectly right for such artists to be signed to pay u a percentage of their earnings.Thing is most composers,writers don’t from shows.Only singers do.Music dies when it’s source most compromised. #India https://t.co/uSQFFiba05

Pooja is currently getting severely trolled for engaging with Kangana Ranaut’s team when she said her father launched Kangana. Kangana fans have hit back at the actor-producer saying that she was a newcomer back then and couldn’t take on the mafia.
