Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan starrer Brahmastra, which was released in 2022, ended with the announcement of part 2. The film did an average business at the box office, but the moviegoers have been waiting to watch the sequel. Recently, there were reports that Brahmastra 2 might start rolling next year in April, and now, according to a report, Alia, who played the female lead in part 1, will have an extended appearance in part 2.

A source told Bollywood Hungama that the talks with Deepika Padukone are still going on, who is being considered to play the role of Amritha in Brahmastra 2. But the makers have roped in Alia.

A source said, “Alia will have an extended appearance in Brahmastra 2 and is expected to shoot for around 25 days. The film itself is planned as an approximately 125-day shoot. Brahmastra 2 will largely revolve around the characters of Dev and Amrita, which are expected to be played by Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, respectively.”

The source added that Alia and Deepika will be parallel leads in Brahmastra 3.
