Brahmastra two and three are going to be made collectively. This is one thing I hadn’t found out after we launched half one. The fact is we’re going to take just a little little bit of time to put in writing it. I do know there’s quite a lot of anticipation. People need the movie to come back out (quickly). But first, we’ve to put in writing it with out compromising it.”I think it will be about three years from now before we see ‘Brahmastra’ two on the big screen,” Mukerji stated on the News 18 Rising India Summit 2023.

Titled Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, the primary film was a big-budget fantasy journey epic that got here out in 2022 The story adopted a deejay named Shiva (Kapoor), who units out on a journey to seek out the origins of his particular powers with Isha (Bhatt), a lady he falls in love with at first sight.

At the occasion on Thursday, the 39-year-old director stated Brahmastra solely scratched the floor of the Astraverse idea that he created with the film.

Brahmastra was a distinct form of movie, it was an enormous leap for me as a result of it was a really unique idea. Now that it has been a couple of months because it got here out, I really feel that we solely touched the tip of the iceberg of this idea in Brahmastra.

“Some people, especially young people, have picked up on it. From Brahmastra one, I actually wanted to create the universe of cinema which fits underneath the word Astraverse. What it really is are the stories that are deeply inspired from Indian history as well as bringing that ancient Indian spirituality into the modern world. This combination I want to keep exploring and telling different stories, using it in the way Marvel Studios have so many films under it.” Though Brahmastra Part One: Shiva was profitable on the international field workplace with earnings of over Rs 400 crore, the film obtained polarising evaluations from the critics.
