Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt's
Brahmastra:
Part
One
-
Shiva,
directed
by
Yeh
Jawani
Hai
Deewani
fame
Ayan
Mukerji,
was
released
in
September
this
year
amid
huge
buzz
and
expectations.
Despite
getting
a
mixed
response,
the
film
turned
out
to
be
a
decent
success
at
the
box
office
and
the
makers
are
now
working
on
its
second
installment
titled
Brahmastra:
Part
Two
-
Dev.
While
the
first
part
focused
on
Shiva's
(Ranbir
Kapoor)
journey
to
find
his
connection
with
Brahmastra,
the
strongest
astra,
Brahmastra
2
will
revolve
around
the
story
of
his
parents
Dev
and
Amrita.
Deepika
Padukone
has
reportedly
been
roped
in
to
play
Amrita,
however,
there's
still
no
clarity
on
the
actor
who'll
be
essaying
Dev
in
the
Astraverse
trilogy.
While
big
names
like
Hrithik
Roshan,
Ranveer
Singh,
and
KGF
star
Yash
were
rumoured
to
be
in
talks
to
play
Dev,
recent
reports
suggest
that
all
three
of
them
have
rejected
the
role.
After
this
development,
the
latest
buzz
suggested
that
the
makers
of
Brahmastra
contacted
Vijay
Devarakonda
for
the
role.
Reportedly,
Karan
Johar
is
keen
to
sign
Vijay
for
the
sequel
to
the
fantasy
drama.
For
the
unversed,
the
Arjun
Reddy
star
recently
made
his
Bollywood
debut
with
Puri
Jagannadh's
Liger.
Co-starring
Ananya
Panday,
the
bilingual
sports
drama
was
released
in
August
this
year
and
KJo
was
one
of
the
producers.
Upon
its
release,
the
film
received
majorly
negative
reviews
and
turned
out
to
be
a
disaster.
In
reference
to
Brahmastra
2,
reports
stated
that
Karan
now
wants
to
make
it
up
to
Vijay
by
offering
him
a
pivotal
role
in
Ranbir
Kapoor's
film.
The
news
has
been
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media
since
yesterday.
However,
looks
like,
these
are
mere
rumours.
Revealing
the
same,
a
source
informed
BollywoodLife
that
all
the
casting
rumours
related
to
Brahmastra
2
are
untrue
and
the
makers
haven't
approached
Vijay.
The
source
added
that
Ayan
is
currently
researching
and
working
on
the
script.
It
is
expected
to
take
a
couple
of
months
to
complete
and
the
casting
will
be
done
only
after
that.
An
official
announcement
from
the
makers
is
still
awaited.
For
the
unversed,
Brahmastra:
Part
One
-
Shiva
took
around
eight
years
to
complete,
however,
Ayan
is
targeting
a
2025
release
for
the
second
part.
