Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra was released in 2022, and ever since, fans have been awaiting an update on the next film in Ayan Mukerji’s Astraverse. It looks like the wait is finally over.
As per Pinkvilla sources, Ranbir Kapoor will start filming for Brahmastra Part 2 soon after finishing filming for Part 2 of Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, by January 2027. A source shared, “Ranbir is super excited to embark on this journey again. In a massive dual-role challenge, RK will portray both Dev and Shiva in the sequel.”
The even bigger update is that with the ensemble cast of the film returning for another film in the franchise, Ayan is keen on bringing Deepika Padukone on board and is currently discussing with her about taking up the role of Amruta.
The source shared, “Ayan and the core team are confident about bringing Deepika on board, recognising that the role of Amruta requires an actor with immense gravitas. While discussions are on, official confirmations will depend on overall timeline alignments.”
