Plot details
What we know about 'Brahmastra 2'
The second part of the Astraverse franchise will continue the love story of Dev and Amrita, which was hinted at in the climax of Part 1. In October 2025, Mukerji posted pictures from a vacation in the mountains with a script, leading fans to speculate that he might be working on Brahmastra 2. However, he did not confirm this speculation. Released in 2022, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva was meant to be a trilogy, but updates regarding sequels have been scarce.

We haven't really announced much of it, but then some really interesting announcements (will be made soon) regarding Brahmastra 2," he added.
