Talking about why they zeroed down 'Brahmastra' as the film's title, Mukherji said, "It is set in India as it exists today but the name of the film is called 'Brahmastra' because the energy, wisdom and powers in the film come from ancient India."

On Working With Big B For The First Time

Expressing his excitement about directing Big B, the filmmaker said, "t's a great honour for me as it would be for any filmmaker to be working with him, in his 75th year especially.

Ranbir To Learn Horse-Riding & Gymnastics For His Role

In an interview with PTI, Ayan had earlier said, "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. Ranbir has to observe the flavour of the film and communicate it with the audience. We are trying to imagine things, this (fantasy) world, and work accordingly."

Wait, There's A Romance Too

"In its core it has romance as an element but it has got a new flavour to it. With every film I am trying to evolve and grow," said Ayan.
