After
more
than
a
decade,
South
superstar
Nagarjuna
is
all
set
to
make
his
comeback
to
Bollywood
with
Ranbir
Kapoor-Alia
Bhatt
starrer
'Brahmastra'.
We
now
hear
that
the
actor
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
an
archaeologist
in
this
Ayan
Mukerji
directorial.
A
Mumbai
Mirror
report
claimed
that
the
actor
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
an
archaeologist
and
has
already
shot
for
his
portions
in
June.
The
tabloid
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Nagarjuna's
character,
along
with
his
students,
undertakes
an
expedition
to
restore
an
ancient
temple
along
the
banks
of
the
Ganga."
The
source
further
added,
"An
important
event
leads
Shiva
(Ranbir)
and
Isha
(Alia)
to
Nagarjuna.
The
story
unfolds
in
the
ancient
temple
city
before
moving
to
the
Himalayas.
The
film's
antagonists,
Mouni
Roy
and
Saurav
Gurjar,
also
come
into
play
because
of
Nagarjuna's
track.
The
adventure
kicks
off
after
all
of
them
come
face-to-face
in
Varanasi.
A
high-octane
action
sequence
featuring
them
was
shot
earlier
in
the
year."
Reportedly,
Ranbir
Kapoor
plays
the
role
of
a
man
named
Shiva
who
possesses
special
powers.
Previously
in
an
interview,
Ranbir
had
called
Brahmastra
a
"supernatural
fairytale
at
heart".
The
young
star
was
quoted
as
saying,
"It
is
actually
a
supernatural
romantic
fairy
tale
at
heart.
Ayan
will
never
make
a
character
that
doesn't
have
truth
to
it,
or
which
is
unbelievable.
It's
too
early
to
talk
about
the
film,
but
it
is
something
I
am
terribly
excited
about."
Produced
by
Karan
Johar,
'Brahmastra'
is
a
trilogy
and
also
stars
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
first
part
of
the
film
will
be
hitting
the
theatrical
screens
in
summer
2020.
