and

is
finally
gearing

The

right
from
its
announcement,
has
been
the
talk
of
the
town
and
now,
fans
can't
wait
to
finally

the
visual
extravaganza
on
the
big
screen.
5
Reasons
Ranbir
Kapoor
&
Alia
Bhatt
Starrer
Brahmastra
could
revive
Bollywood's
box-office
glory!
Amid
this,
Alia
and
Ranbir
came
together
for
an
interview
for
IMDb
where
they
opened
up
about
Brahmastra.
Speaking
about
Brahmastra
became
a
part
of
their
lives,
Ranbir
said,
"Brahmastra
has
been
part
of
our
DNA
now.
It's
been
five
years.
Ayan,
Alia,
and
me
are
also
really
close
friends,
so
on
every
occasion
in
our
lives,
if
it's
a
birthday,
if
it's
Diwali,
if
it's
Christmas,
if
it's
our
marriage,
we
were
always
talking
about
Brahmastra.
So,
it
never
really
left
our
system."
Alia
revealed
that
she
and
Ranbir
have
been
watching
the
film
over
the
years,
little
by
little,
in
its
raw
form.
She
admitted
that
every
time
she
watched
it,
it
was
a
different
experience
for
her.
"That's
something
that
I'm
always
surprised
by.
There's
so
much
newness
and
there
are
so
many
elements
that
you're
just
not
expecting,
that
surprise
is
genuinely
one
of
your
dominating
emotions," the
actress
told
IMDb.
She
also
shared
her
experience
of
working
with
Ayan
Mukerji
for
the
first
time.
Calling
him
her
and
Ranbir's
best
friend,
the
Darlings
actress
said
that
he
is
like
a
true
principal
and
a
taskmaster.
Alia
said,
"He
really
makes
sure
the
work
is
done
and
that's
the
most
amazing
part
with
him,
that
hard
work
and
Ayan
are
synonymous
with
each
other.
He
expects
that
with
every
crew
member
and
we,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
are
just
crew
members
and
he's
the
visionary."
During
the
course
of
the
interview,
the
reel
and
real-life
couple
also
revealed
their
favorite
performance
of
each
other,
and
the
exact
moment
they
became
the
other's
fan.
Talking
about
his
favourite
performance
of
his
actress-wife
Alia
Bhatt,
Ranbir
said,
"She's
probably
had
the
best
year
any
artist
has
ever
had,
in
the
history
of
actors.
She's
had
Gangubai,
she's
had
RRR,
she's
had
Darlings.
And
now
she's
going
to
have
Brahmastra.
The
obvious
choice
would
be
Gangubai,
but
I
actually
became
a
fan
of
Alia
from
her
second
film
onwards,
and
that
was
Highway.
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
this
film
and
I
actually
saw
it
at
the
edit.
I
just
knew
that
this
was
the
birth
of
an
actor
which
is
probably...
Indian
cinema
and
world
cinema
weren't
ready
for.
I
hadn't
seen
an
actor
deliver
what
she
did
in
that
film
and
I
think
I
became
a
huge
admirer
of
her
work
since
then."
On
the
other
hand,
Alia
picked
up
Barfi!
as
her
favourite
Ranbir
Kapoor
performance.
Explaining
the
reason
behind
the
same,
she
said
that
she
found
his
performance
simple,
funny
and
at
the
same
time,
heartbreaking.
She
said
that
the
most
beautiful
part
of
Ranbir's
act
in
the
Anurag
Basu-directorial
was
that
he
literally
did
not
speak
through
the
film
and
did
everything
through
his
eyes.
Brahmastra
marks
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt's
first
collaboration
on
the
big
screen.
Besides
them,
the
film
also
stars
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Mouni
Roy
and
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
in
key
roles.
The
makers
have
kept
Bollywood
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
cameo
under
wraps.
