Development

Producer Karan Johar announced the film via Twitter on 11 October 2017 revealing that it would also be made into a three-part trilogy.[4][5] The preparation for the film started in January 2018.[6] In an interview, Kapoor revealed that Mukerji "has spent six years of his life working really hard to make an original story" and that the trilogy would be made over a period of 10 years[7] and refuted rumours suggesting that it is a romantic superhero film. Instead Kapoor confirmed that the film is a "romantic-fairytale in a supernatural format." and that the film is not something which "doesn’t have truth to it, or which is unbelievable".[8][9] Initially the film's title was rumoured to be Dragon but was later changed to Brahmastra. Director Ayan Mukerji explained that the title 'Brahmastra' "resonates with the “ancient wisdom, energies and power,”.[10] Mukerji also revealed that it is a "contemporary film with ancient elements."[11]

Bachchan revealed his experience with look tests for the film expressing that it is a "tedious job, sticking removing applying de applying and applying again, until some decision is reached"[12] Nagarjuna also confirmed that he would be playing a "pivotal" role.[13]
