Brahmastra: Ayan Mukerji unveils new motion poster starring Mouni Roy as Junoon

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji released a new motion poster featuring actor Mouni Roy from his upcoming movie Brahmastra, stating her as the “surprise package” in the film.

He took to his Instagram handle and shared the motion poster starring Mouni Roy, describing her character as 'Junoon'.


He captioned the post and wrote, "A lot of people, I think, are going to walk out of Brahmastra talking about Mouni's performance as Junoon. Moun - who has deep belief and deep surrender for Lord Shiva - has always understood Brahmastra very naturally - and with that understanding, she really killed it with her part in our movie! My first meeting with her, I offered her a 'special appearance' in Brahmastra. Eventually, she shot with us from our first day to our last schedule, and is really, the surprise package in the film!"

The trailer of the much-anticipated film will be unveiled on June 15, Wednesday. While it has been stated that Brahmastra is a fantasy film with supernatural aspects, the narrative of the film has been kept under wraps.

In various interviews, Ayan has stated that the film has been in development for about nine years. The film's production began about five years ago. 'Brahmastra Part One: Shiva' is the first installment of a proposed three-part series.

Directed by Ayan, Brahmastra will release in multiple languages on September 9, 2022.

Two Sinners marks Samir Zaidi’s striking directorial debut

Samir Zaidi, director of 'Two Sinners', emerges as a powerful new voice in Indian film

Indian cinema has a long tradition of discovering new storytellers in unexpected places, and one recent voice that has attracted quiet, steady attention is Samir Zaidi. His debut short film Two Sinners has been travelling across international festivals, earning strong praise for its emotional depth and moral complexity. But what makes Zaidi’s trajectory especially compelling is how organically it has unfolded — grounded not in film school training, but in lived observation, patient apprenticeships and a deep belief in the poetry of everyday life.

Zaidi’s relationship with creativity began well before he ever stepped onto a set. “As a child, I was fascinated by small, fleeting things — the way people spoke, the silences between arguments, the patterns of light on the walls,” he reflects. He didn’t yet have the vocabulary for what he was absorbing, but the instinct was already in place. At 13, he turned to poetry, sensing that the act of shaping emotions into words offered a kind of clarity he couldn’t find elsewhere. “I realised creativity wasn’t something external I had to chase; it was a way of processing the world,” he says. “Whether it was writing or filmmaking, it came from the same impulse: to make sense of what I didn’t fully understand.”
