Taking to Instagram, he shared a picture of Ranbir from the sets of the film and wrote: “Director & Actor. Ranbir - The absolute first person to have heard about Brahmastra and the first to have jumped on for the ride! On a writing trip for Yeh Jawaani in May 2011, is where the idea was born... and Ranbir was my very first phone call. There is so much to share about B.astra, but it is fitting that the first team member this Insta journey touches upon is... Ranbir aka Shiva aka Rumi aka Artist aka Soldier! More over the next few... #brahmastra #shivadiaries.”

 

On the concluding day of the Kumbh Mela, the makers and the cast of the film gave their fans a glimpse of the film’s logo in the sky, using drones. This is the first time ever where the makers of a film have involved drones and announced the logo on such a huge scale on the auspicious day of Mahashivratri.

In the video, Ranbir asks him if there is any weapon which in is bits and pieces but if one was to join them, it forms a circle and one that has a sign embossed on it. To that, Amitabh replies that there is one such a weapon, Brahmastra: the most powerful of all weapons and the pride of our culture.

 

The team of the film shared a number of pictures from the event and also revealed the names of Ranbir and Alia’s characters. The team had also performed a puja on the banks of the Ganges at Prayagraj.

Brahmastra has been extensively shot in Bulgaria, New York and Mumbai, among other places.
