The trailer of the much-awaited 'Brahmastra' is finally here and Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are all set to take the nation into a spectacular adventure September 9 onwards.
'Brahmastra' is a new, original universe, inspired by the deeply rooted concepts and tales from Indian mythology. It's also set in the modern world, with epic storytelling of fantasy, adventure, good vs evil, love and hope.
Director Ayan Mukerji speaks on this momentous occasion, "Marking the beginning of a new cinematic universe, âThe Astraverse', I believe BrahmÃÂstra is the kind of film that the country would feel really proud of. It touches on our roots; celebrates our rich culture and it takes us forward with our technology. The film is proudly Indian and Imaginative and bringing together some of Pan-India's most renowned names was a dream come true!"

Produced by Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus and Starlight Pictures the magnum opus will release theatrically on September 9th, 2022, in 5 Indian languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada with a stellar ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna Akkineni.
And hours before the trailer launch, Ranbir and Alia shared a special video message for the fans expressing how much love and labour they have put to make the film , which is held by none other than the couple's close friend Ayan Mukerji.
As Ranbir is not on social media, his video message was uploaded by his mother and veteran actor Neetu Kapoor on her Instagram handle.
In the video clip, Ranbir said, "Guys, tomorrow (June 15) is a special and wonderful day for me. The trailer of Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva comes out tomorrow. I know you all have been waiting for this film for a long time and I have been waiting for your responses. Actually andar se mar raha hoon (I am dying inside)."
Ranbir also spoke about the toll the film's long-drawn production has taken on him. Brahmastra has been in production since 2017.
"I don't even know if I'll ever again get an opportunity to be part of a film like Brahmastra again. We have given our blood, sweat, time, heart, soul, liver, kidney, everything to make this film and I truly hope that it excites, delights, and engages you guys," he added.
Dropping the video, Neetu Kapoor wrote in the caption, "Shiva and Isha tmrw". Alia, too, shared a video message for her fans, apart from sharing her husband Ranbir's clip. In her video message, Alia shared that she has watched the trailer like "25-30" times.
"Gentle but a forceful reminder that Brahmastra trailer is releasing tomorrow. That is the 15th of June in the morning. It is a very big deal. Very big moment for all of us. We are very excited. I have not slept properly since a week because I have been so nervous. I have seen the trailer like some 25-30 times. It is a very big moment for me in a big way because it is not just a film. I have said this time and again that the kind of effort energy love attention focus has gone into the film is kind of out of the world," she said.
She added, "Over the years, people have been asking me what's happening with Brahmastra, when is it releasing, what is happening etc etc, and I have just kept my head down and kept quiet because I was like I know my best friend, who is my wonder boy, Ayan has a certain vision with this film and it takes time to make. Hopefully, when it is going to come out to the world, you all will love it and enjoy it."
