Yash approached for 'Brahmastra 2'? Here's what Karan Johar says
Brahmastra: Part One—Shiva broke the failure streak of Bollywood movies and emerged as a blockbuster. While fans have been coming up with several theories about its sequel, the makers have remained tight-lipped on it. It was also rumored that KGF actor Yash was roped in for Brahmastra: Part Two—Dev. However, its co-producer Karan Johar has now rubbished these reports, confirming they haven't approached Yash.
Why does this story matter?
One of the most successful pan-Indian stars, Yash's recent outing KGF: Chapter 2 set the box office on fire, and the records that the film created aren't easy to break. On the other hand, Brahmastra proved to be a successful Bollywood venture, which received the love of fans across the country. However, unfortunately, it's now been confirmed that the two forces are not collaborating.
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.

Moreover, Shah Rukh Khan made a special cameo appearance. The film will debut digitally on Disney+ Hotstar on November 4.
Yash is yet to announce his next project
Meanwhile, Yash is probably still basking in KGF: Chapter 2's monstrous success. He has not yet revealed details of his upcoming projects. However, according to Pinkvilla, Yash has been approached by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment, and we might get to see the actor starring in a mythological film next. The third installment of KGF franchise is also reportedly on the cards.
