The movie will see Ranbir playing Shiva, a DJ unaware of his special powers, and Alia will essay a character named Isha.  Ranbir’s Shiva will unleash fire from his palms. The actor has undergone rigorous training in various forms of martial arts for the role.

On 4 March, the makers and the cast of the film gave its fans a glimpse of the film’s logo in the sky at the concluding day of Kumbh Mela. This is the first time ever where the makers of a film have involved drones and announced the logo on such a huge scale on the auspicious day of Mahashivratri.

Brahmastra has been extensively shot in Bulgaria, New York, and Mumbai,

The Dharma Productions backed magnum opus will hit cinemas in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
