I have been focused on creating the vision for part two and part three - which I know will be bigger and more ambitious than part 1! I have learnt that we need a little more time to perfect the script of Brahmastra two and three! And...I have decided that we are going to make the two films... together! Allowing them to release closer together! I have a timeline in place to achieve this, which I am sharing with you all today!" 

He further stated that 'Brahmastra - Part Two: Dev' will release in December 2026, and ‘Brahmastra - Part Three’ will hit the screens in December 2027.

What the movie is... more on that when the time is right :) An opportunity that challenges me and terribly excites me... one where I will learn, be inspired and where I will grow! So, I have decided to take it up!! Opening myself up to all the positive energies in this universe so I can do my best and contribute to that one thing that matters most to me - Indian Cinema!

'Brahmastra' part one starred an ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy, in key roles. The second part will focus on the characters of Dev and Amrita. 

If you've watched the film, you know that Dev is Shiva's father and the lead antagonist, but the filmmaker didn't reveal the actor who'll be portraying Dev. However, people figured out Shiva's mother Amrita in the film as they noticed Deepika Padukone's blink-and-miss appearance. Now, everyone is eager to know who's playing Dev.

While netizens are convinced that Ranveer Singh would play Dev on the silver screen, the man-of-the-moment, director Ayan Mukerji has remained tight-lipped about the casting for the second part.
