Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Brahmastra was to hit the marquee last December, but the pandemic put the brakes on the shoot. Now, it is heard that Ayan Mukerji, who has been patiently shaping his fantasy drama for over three years, is ready to resume his place behind the camera for the last stint. The production design team is apparently hard at work, building a set for the patchwork shoot.

“Ayan had almost completed filming the superhero drama, in keeping with the December 4 release date. While he utilised the lockdown to speed up the VFX work and editing, a small portion remains to be shot. The production design team has a week to build the set in the Kandivali studio before Ayan begins shooting on February 18. He has chalked out a week-long stint with the leads, post which it will be a wrap for the project,” says a source. The Karan Johar-backed ambitious film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Dimple Kapadia, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy.
