Ayan Mukerji's forthcoming film, Brahmastra, is already turning out to be one of the highly anticipated Bollywood films. Recently, Karan Johar took to Twitter to announce the title and other details of the film. Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead, Brahmastra will be a trilogy.
As per recent reports, Brahmastra is said to be made on a lavish budget of over Rs 100 crore. Speaking about the film, a source told DNA, "Karan plans to go big with Brahmastra. He has asked the team not to worry about the budget. KJo understands that a superhero film needs a mounting of a certain stature. The approximate budget of the film is expected to be over Rs. 100 crore, which also means that Brahmastra will be KJo's biggest film till date, budget wise. Previously, he had planned to make Shuddhi on a scale like this but it didn't work out."
Tipped to be a sci-fi drama, Brahmastra also stars megastar Amitabh Bachchan in a pivotal role. Ayan Mukerji told PTI, "There is lot of action, so there is lot of training, like gymnastics kind of training, horse-riding, fighting and lot of physical stuff that Ranbir will have to do. And then there is internal work, like to get the spirit of the character right."
The shooting of the film is expected to go on the floors next year and the first part of Brahmastra is slated to release on August 15, 2019.
