‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’, is the first part of a three-part film franchise and the beginning of India’s first original universe – the Astraverse.

The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy with special appearances by Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan. The film is touted to be the costliest film of Bollywood till date with an estimated budget of Rs 350 crore.

A mega-budget sci-fi film has been delayed multiple times- first due to VFX work and then due to the pandemic. The film was scheduled to release earlier in December 2020 but was pushed to 2021 due to the pandemic. The film, which marks Alia and Ranbir’s first film together, will release on September 9, this year. Earlier, the movie was scheduled to release in 2019.

While the plot details of the movie are under wraps, the movie will release theatrically across 5 Indian languages – Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
