Ranbir Kapoor Gives An Update On ‘Brahmastra 2’: We Start Shooting Hopefully By The End Of Next Year

Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Animal’ is one of the most awaited films of the year. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and produced by T-Series and Cine1 Studios, the film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Tripti Dimri. It is set to release on December 1, 2023.

Now as we all awaited the release of ‘Animal’, Ranbir Kapoor also talked about his other highly-discussed project, ‘Brahmastra 2’. During an interview, Ranbir revealed that ‘Brahmastra 2’ script is ready and the film’s shoot is likely to commence toward the end of next year. The actor further mentioned how the makers have paid heed to the criticism from the first instalment of ‘Brahmastra’, and hence, are committed to not repeating those mistakes.

Ranbir said, “Brahmastra Part 2 is heavy into writing. We are working on it all the time. It’s just last week that Ayan narrated the film to me and he has gone 10 times bigger than Part 1 – his idea, his thought, the character. He is working on War 2 right now. So the plan is to finish War 2 by mid next year and we start shooting hopefully by the end of next year or the beginning of 2025. But definitely a lot of work has already been happening on the film. We understood the kind of criticism for the film, what worked for it and what didn’t. So we have put everything into consideration, the dialogue and comments on Shiva and Isha’s missing chemistry. A lot of criticism was constructive and we have taken that into our stride and we are trying to understand that and go beyond that.”

For those caught unaware, Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’, which was released in 2022, is touted to be one of the biggest Hindi hits of the year. The Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer was the first part of a trilogy, and director Ayan Mukerji recently mentioned that he will be shooting Part 2 and 3 simultaneously. While ‘Brahmastra Part One Shiva’ ended with a cliffhanger, the second film, ‘Brahmastra Part Two Dev’ will mostly focus on the story of Dev and Amrita, who are Shiva’s parents. 

‘Brahmastra: Part One’ starred Ranbir Kapoor as Shiva, with Alia Bhatt portraying the character of Isha. Ayan Mukerji directed and co-produced the film with Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Namit Malhotra.
