After announcing a period film called Kesari, with superstar Akshay Kumar on Tuesday, acclaimed Hindi filmmaker Karan Johar announced another mega-budgeted film on Wednesday. Titled Brahmastra, the movie will be a trilogy featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. Earlier titled Dragon, Brahmastra is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on August 15, 2019.
Ayan Mukerji, who will direct the film, has been planning for the movie for a long time now. The news of him joining hands with Ranbir Kapoor again after the smashing success of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani first hit the headlines in 2015. But due to one reason or the other, the project was never announced officially. It was when Alia Bhatt joined the star cast of the film last year that fans thought the film is back on track.
And now, Dharma Productions’ head honcho Karan Johar has revealed the title of the fantasy film along with its leading cast. The seasoned filmmaker took to Twitter to announce the mega project. The first part of the trilogy will hit the screens next year.
Ranbir Kapoor has already started preparing for the film. He is currently undergoing training in horse-riding and gymnastics for the movie. Karan Johar will co-produce the film along with Fox Star Studios and Namit Malhotra.
