Here’s why Brahmastra shoot has been put on hold

Brahmastra is undoubtedly the most ambitious project for filmmaker Karan Johar at the movement. He is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that it turns out to be a never-seen-before cinematic experience for Indian audiences upon its release.

The latest update on the Ayan Mukerji directorial is that its shoot has been put on hold due to some production issues. “Ayan’s Brahmastra will be on a different scale altogether, and a film like this takes time. The film had some production issues but it will soon be back in its making,” a source reveals to an Indian daily.


Brahmastra was scheduled to enter theatres on Christmas this year. But a couple of weeks ago, Ayan Mukerji announced that the movie will not be able to make it to cinemas before summer 2020 as his team requires more time to shape it well.

Produced by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions, Brahmastra is a fantasy spectacle, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy in principal characters.

Besides Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Big B and Mouni Roy, the movie also stars southern superstar Nagarjuna in a pivotal role. Actress Dimple Kapadia will also be seen in the supporting cast.

Decades later, many people remain unaware that the practice took place.

For filmmaker Keshavi Jaharia, that lack of awareness was one of the reasons the story needed to be told. Her short film Simran Kaur 1970 revisits the disturbing history of virginity examinations imposed on women arriving from the Indian subcontinent, particularly India and Pakistan, to marry in Britain.
