Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra is one of the most awaited films of 2020. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Mouni Roy and Shah Rukh Khan (cameo). A few days ago, SRK was spotted with Ayan and Ranbir and it was said that the actor shot for his cameo at a studio in Mumbai.
Now, according to a report in a tabloid, Nagarjuna will be seen playing the character of an archaeologist in the film. The actor has shot for the film in the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the Chet Singh Fort and on the banks of Ganga. A source told a tabloid, “Nagarjuna’s character, along with his students, undertakes an expedition to restore an ancient temple along the banks of the Ganga.”
Ranbir Kapoor plays the role of Shiva and Alia will be seen as his love interest Isha. A source said, “An important event leads Shiva and Isha to Nagarjuna.”
The South star just didn’t shoot with Alia and Ranbir, but even Mouni Roy will get a chance to share screen space with him. The source stated, “The adventure kicks-off after all of them come face-to-face in Varanasi. A high-octane action sequence featuring them was shot earlier in the year.”
Well, Brahmastra was slated to hit the screens on Christmas this year. But the makers shifted the release date to Summer 2020 stating that the work on the VFX will require more time.
Brahmastra has been in the making for the past couple of years. The release date of the film has been shifted multiple times. Let’s hope that soon the film is complete and we get to see it on the big screen. While the makers have announced that it will release in Summer 2020, they are yet to announce the exact release date.

INDIA head coach Gautam Gambhir declined to discuss the 2027 World Cup prospects of senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying it was too early to look that far ahead despite acknowledging their quality.
Both players now feature internationally only in the 50-over format, but India appear to be managing a gradual transition rather than making sudden changes.
Rohit, who led India to the Champions Trophy title earlier this year, has been replaced by Shubman Gill as captain of the one-day side for the upcoming Australia tour.
Rohit and Kohli, with a combined total of 567 ODIs, have both been included in the three-match series against Australia, though their future beyond the tour remains uncertain.
"Look, the 50-over World Cup is still two-and-a-half years away, and I think it is very important to stay in the present," Gambhir told reporters after India completed a Test series sweep against West Indies on Tuesday.
"Obviously, they are quality players, they are coming back, their experience is going to be a handful in Australia as well.
"Hopefully, those two guys will have a successful tour, and more importantly, as a team, we will have a successful series."
Rohit, who captained India to the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, will turn 40 by the time the next edition takes place, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Kohli, a member of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad, is a year younger.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s future in the format is also uncertain. The 37-year-old, part of the recent Champions Trophy-winning team, has been left out of the ODI squad for Australia.
Jadeja said the selectors had explained the reasons behind his omission and that he would stay prepared for future opportunities.
"It is a good thing that they communicated the reason behind my omission," Jadeja said during the second Test against West Indies.
"But whenever I get a chance next, I will try and do what I have done all these years.
"Winning a World Cup is everyone's dream. We had narrowly missed out the last time, the next time we will try and make up for it."
