Brahmastra trailer to release next week

A star-studded adventure film, ‘Brahmastra – Part One: Shiva’ will be releasing its trailer on June 15. The three-part movie series will introduce India’s first original fantasy film universe known as the ‘Astraverse’. The concept of the film is based on Indian mythology and folktales, but with a twist of modern setting.

Directed by Karan Johar, the lead ‘Shiva’ is being played by Ranbir Kapoor. Alia Bhatt has been cast as Isha, Amitabh Bachchan as Guru Arvind and Mouni Roy as the main antagonist, Damyanti. Even popular Telugu actor Nagarjuna will be appearing in the film. He plays the character of Ajay Vashist. Shah Rukh Khan will also be featured in an extended cameo as a scientist.

On June 9, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “Ek aisi Roshni jismein hai… har andhere ko haraane ki Shakti. Here comes GURU! The Wise Leader who holds the PRABHĀSTRA: The Sword of Light! BRAHMĀSTRA Trailer out on JUNE 15th(sic).” The tweet also included the official movie posters in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

With a budget exceeding Rs 300 crore, the film’s principal photography lasted for four years from 2018 to 2022 with filming locations including Bulgaria, London, New York, Edinburgh, and Varanasi. The film is expected to release on September 9 in standard formats, 3D, and IMAX 3D.

Days after releasing the Brahmastra teaser, Alia Bhatt took to her Instagram handle and dropped a fresh film poster featuring Amitabh Bachchan. Introducing Amitabh’s character as Guru, the wise leader, Alia wrote, “Here comes GURU! The Wise Leader who holds the Prabhastra: The Sword of Light! Brahmastra trailer out on June 15th.”

The new poster gives a closer look at Amitabh’s intense character, posing with a sword. This comes days after the first teaser of the film was released on social media with a minor edit. While the first teaser featured lead couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s names in the beginning, followed by the supporting cast, the new video had a change in the sequence. Amitabh’s name was brought to attention first in the re-released teaser before Ranbir and Alia’s. Actors Nagarjuna Akkineni and Mouni Roy’s names appeared in the fourth and fifth positions, respectively, in the new teaser.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra is a three-part fantasy epic. In the film, Ranbir will be taking the lead role of Shiva, while his love interest will be Alia Bhatt as Isha. Amitabh Bachchan will be seen as Professor Arvind Chaturvedi. On the other hand, Nargarjuna will play Ajay Vashisht, an archaeologist. Mouni Roy will be the antagonist of the film, named Damayanti. Brahmastra will release on September 9.
