Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's Brahmastra Sequels To Be Shot Simultaneously

Mumbai, April 1 - Director Ayan Mukerji's ambitious project Brahmastra had its theatrical debut last year with the first part Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt among others in the key roles. ## After the successful outing of the first of the Brahmastra trilogy, the filmmaker is now working on the next two chapters in the fantasy adventure franchise. During a recent interview with News18, Ayan Mukerji revealed that Brahmastra 2 & 3 would be shot simultaneously for which the writing is underway. ## The first Brahmastra movie, although it received praise for visuals and VFX, did receive a little criticism for poor dialogue writing. Mukerji said that he will write the scripts of the next two films without compromising and this will take some time.## "We will make Brahmastra 2 and 3 together. The truth is we are going to take a little bit of time to write it. I know there's a lot of anticipation. People want the (second part) film to come out. But first, we will write it properly without compromising it. I think it will be about three years from now before we see Brahmastra 2 on the big screen", said Ayan. ## Talking about Brahmastra's dialogues, Ayan said, "We did get some mixed reactions. We still did really good numbers. A lot of people accepted our film. It also did well when it came out on a streaming (platform). It's probably the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022. But I still hear that criticism very clearly".## Produced by Dharma Productions, Starlight Pictures, and Prime Focus in association with Star Studios, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva also stars Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy. Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan have extended cameos in the film. The movie grossed over 430 crores worldwide and was the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of 2022. ## Stay tuned...
