New Delhi:
Team Brahmastra got all candid at an event in Hyderabad as they shared Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam posters of the film. The motion poster of their highly-anticipated sci-fi adventure, Brahmastra – Part 1 was released on December 15.
Speaking at the event, Ayan Mukherjee, who is helming the project, revealed that he never wanted anyone to see RK and Alia as the couple before the release of his film. In fact, in the last 4 years, the filmmaker was after the duo to not come out in public as a couple.
“To be honest, when we started our film, I thought this is the best casting- Ranbir and Alia, powerhouses. It was just too good. Then Ranbir and Alia became very good friends, then very very very good friends in life, then more than friends. So then, I didn’t want the whole world to see them for these 4 years. I didn’t want anyone to see them till my film had not come out. So, Lots of things haven’t happened in their lives because every time they went out together, I would be sitting at the back saying ‘you all are ruining my film. Please don’t go anywhere.’ It feels good now that we can share them,” said Ayan at the poster launch event at Hyderabad.
When Karan Johar was asked to comment on Ayan’s statement and the power couple, he said, “Ayan is very protective about this pair. But, I think he has lost leverage. Had he come out with this film a few years ago then keeping them under wraps would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, you can’t curb love that long. At its heart, it’s a love story.”
Brahmastra: Part one, is the first part of a 3-part film franchise and the beginning of India’s first original universe – the Astraverse. The makers have earlier launched the motion poster of the film, and introduced Ranbir as Shiva. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles.
