Ayan
Mukerji's
superhero
film
starring
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia,
has
been
the
talk
of
the
town
ever
since
the
makers
announced
this
film
in
2017.
After
a
long
wait,
it
was
finally
announced
that
the
film
will
release
in
theatres
on
December
4,
2020.
Unfortunately,
the
lockdown
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
played
a
major
spoilsport
and
the
superhero
movie
was
pushed
indefinitely
like
many
other
Bollywood
projects.
Now,
if
the
latest
buzz
is
to
be
believed,
Ranbir
and
Alia
will
resume
shooting
the
remaining
portions
of
Brahmastra
next
week
at
a
suburban
studio
in
Mumbai.
Reportedly,
the
production
design
team
is
working
hard
to
build
a
set
for
the
patchwork
shoot.
A
Mid-day
report
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Ayan
had
almost
completed
filming
the
superhero
drama,
in
keeping
with
the
December
4
release
date.
While
he
utilised
the
lockdown
to
speed
up
the
VFX
work
and
editing,
a
small
portion
remains
to
be
shot.
The
production
design
team
has
a
week
to
build
the
set
in
the
Kandivali
studio
before
Ayan
begins
shooting
on
February
18.
He
has
chalked
out
a
week-long
stint
with
the
leads,
post
which
it
will
be
a
wrap
for
the
project."
Talking
about
Brahmastra,
director
Ayan
Mukerji
had
earlier
shared,
"I
would
never
have
written
Brahmastra,
if
not
for
the
Himalayas.
It
was
where
the
idea
for
the
movie
-
the
entire
trilogy
-
came
to
me,
and
no
other
place
on
earth
could
have
inspired
it." The
filmmaker
had
also
revealed
that
Brahmastra
is
modern-day
film
set
in
India
as
it
exists
today.
On
the
other
hand,
Ranbir
had
called
the
film
"a
supernatural
romantic
fairy
tale
at
heart."
Produced
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions,
the
ambitious
fantasy
adventure
also
stars
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mouni
Roy
in
pivotal
roles.
Telugu
superstar
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
will
be
seen
in
a
cameo
role
in
this
film.
