Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva hit the silver screens back in 2022. Written and directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film boasted of top-notch visual effects and stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy in significant roles. Even though the much ambitious first film of the three-part trilogy reportedly collected over Rs 400 crore, and created a lot of anticipation for the second part, rumour mills had been busy churning that the remaining instalments of the mythological fantasy trilogy have been shelved.
