In an Instagram post, Mukerji announced that his next project Brahmastra will be released in summer 2020 instead of December 2019. "Brahmastra is a dream that began for me in 2011, and I've been actively pursuing it since Yeh Jawaani Hai released in 2013," Mukerji wrote, adding that the delay is because it would take longer to get the VFX, sound, and music right.
