Shedding more light on the same, Ranbir shared, “We should start that film in 2027. It’s a bit away. He (Sandeep Reddy Vanga, director) just kind of flirted with what he wants to do with the movie. He wants to make it over three parts. The second part is called Animal Park. We have been sharing ideas from the first film itself, and how we want to take this story forward. It is very exciting because now I get to play two characters – the antagonist and the protagonist. It is an extremely exciting project with an extremely original director. I am very excited to be a part of it.”
Ranbir Kapoor on Brahmastra 2 scripting updates and more:
Moreover, Ranbir Kapoor also teased fans with an update on Brahmastra 2. While speaking with Deadline, he shared that Brahmastra Part 2 is in the scripting and storyline developmental stage and is called Dev and it is always a happy time and fun to work with his friend Ayan Mukherji on this one, with whom he has worked in the previous three films like Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, and Brahmastra as well.
Explaining the same, Ranbir revealed that, “Part 2 is in the writing stage. Part one was called Shiva, part 2 is called Dev. We haven’t really announced the cast yet. That is something very exciting also. It’s directed by one of my closest friends Ayan. I worked on two films with him before this. That’s ‘Wake Up Sid’ and ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Brahmastra’. So definitely, it (Brahmastra) was one of the first few films of that nature, especially for Indian cinema. But it has the potential to really grow more in the coming parts.”
