Meanwhile, recently, Bollywood Hungama reported that after the smashing success of Brahmastra, Disney has given the green signal for its second installment, too. Brahmastra co-producers, Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Disney, are currently in talks to allocate a budget for the sequel. One aspect that will be different in Brahmastra 2 is the focus will reportedly be more on mythology rather than modern aspects.
Expectations
Meanwhile, here's what we know of 'Brahmastra 2'
Mukerji is targeting December 2025 for the release of Brahmastra: Part Two—Dev. It's expected to pick up from where the first part concluded, and Ranveer Singh has reportedly been roped in for the eponymous role. However, Mukerji, who earlier dubbed Dev his "most exciting character," has not spilled any beans yet. Bhatt and Kapoor will also reprise their roles in the sequel.
