Here's what Johar said about the reports
When rumors about Yash surfaced, fans speculated he might play the coveted role of Dev—Shiva's (Ranbir Kapoor) father. But speaking to ETimes, Johar recently said, "This is all rubbish. We haven't approached anyone." This pretty much clears the air about Yash's association with Brahmastra. The makers, meanwhile, are likely to keep details about who's been cast as Dev under wraps to maintain the suspense.
