Ranbir Kapoor Drops Exciting Brahmastra 2 Update: Here’s What You Need to Know!

Ranbir Kapoor has set Bollywood abuzz with his latest revelations about Brahmastra 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022 blockbuster Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva.

Speaking at a media meet-and-greet in Mumbai on March 13, 2025, just ahead of wife Alia Bhatt’s 32nd birthday, the actor shared tantalizing details about the project’s progress.

With director Ayan Mukerji at the helm and a promise of “interesting announcements” on the horizon, fans are eager to dive back into the mythological universe that captivated audiences three years ago. Here’s everything Ranbir spilled about Brahmastra 2 and what it means for the franchise’s future.

What Did Ranbir Kapoor Say About Brahmastra 2?

Ranbir Kapoor confirmed that Brahmastra 2—officially titled Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev—is “definitely happening.” During the Mumbai event, he revealed, “Brahmastra 2 is something that Ayan has been nurturing as a dream for a very long time. As you all know, he is currently working on War 2, and once it releases, he will start pre-production of Brahmastra 2.”

This statement has reignited excitement among fans who’ve been waiting for updates since the first film’s cliffhanger ending. Ranbir also teased that “some really interesting announcements” are coming soon, hinting at potential surprises like casting reveals or a release timeline.

When Will Brahmastra 2 Start Production?

Timing is a hot topic for Brahmastra 2 enthusiasts, and Ranbir provided a clearer picture. He tied the sequel’s pre-production to the release of Ayan Mukerji’s current project, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, slated for August 14, 2025. “Once War 2 releases, he [Ayan] will start pre-production of Brahmastra 2,” Ranbir explained.

This suggests that fans might see significant movement on the film by late 2025 or early 2026, aligning with Mukerji’s meticulous approach to crafting this ambitious trilogy. Given the first film’s extensive production timeline, anticipation is building for how swiftly the team can bring Dev to life.

Why Is Brahmastra 2 So Special to Ranbir and Alia?

For Ranbir Kapoor, Brahmastra isn’t just a cinematic milestone—it’s a personal journey. Reflecting on its significance in a December 2024 interview with Deadline, he said, “We started dating during the film’s shooting, got married, and had a baby by the time it was released.” The first installment marked his on-screen debut with Alia Bhatt, and its sequel promises to deepen their creative collaboration.

Ranbir emphasized the franchise’s potential, noting, “It has the potential to really grow more,” suggesting that Brahmastra 2 could expand the mythology-inspired universe in bold, unexpected ways.

What Can Fans Expect From Brahmastra 2’s Story?

While Ranbir kept plot details under wraps, the subtitle Dev offers clues. The first film ended with a tease of Dev’s mysterious power, leaving audiences speculating about his role as either a formidable antagonist or a complex anti-hero.

Ranbir’s assurance of “interesting announcements” has sparked theories—could we see new characters, a deeper dive into Hindu mythology, or even surprise cameos like Shah Rukh Khan’s from Part One? With Ayan Mukerji’s track record of blending stunning visuals with emotional storytelling, Brahmastra 2 is poised to elevate the trilogy’s stakes.

How Does Brahmastra 2 Fit Into Ranbir’s Busy Schedule?

Ranbir Kapoor is juggling a packed slate, yet Brahmastra 2 remains a priority. He’s currently filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, set for a March 2026 release, and has Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal Park (slated for 2027) in the pipeline.

Despite this, his enthusiasm for Brahmastra 2 shines through, signaling that the project holds a special place in his career. Fans can rest assured that Ranbir’s commitment to reprising his role as Shiva will keep the sequel on track.

Ranbir Kapoor’s latest statements have injected fresh energy into the Brahmastra fandom, promising a sequel that’s been years in the making. With Ayan Mukerji wrapping up War 2 and “interesting announcements” looming, Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev is shaping up to be a cinematic event worth the wait.

Some Closing Thoughts:

As Ranbir balances his blockbuster lineup, his passion for this mythological saga ensures it’ll be a labor of love for both him and Alia Bhatt.
