shared the logo video of the film with the caption “Saare astron ka devta – #Brahmastra.” It showed Ranbir asking Amitabh Bachchan about a weapon that is in pieces but will form a circle when joined together. Amitabh calls it the ‘god of all weapons’, the Brahmastra, which holds the power of the universe. When Ranbir asks why is Brahmastra only visible to him, Amitabh says “because you are connected to the final battle of the Brahmastra.”
The film is the first instalment in a fantasy trilogy and also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy and Tollywood actor Nagarjuna. It was scheduled to release this Christmas but has been postponed to next year.
