The countdown has begun, and the clocks have started ticking! Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva is set to grace theaters on September 9, and the makers are bending over backward to ensure the film passes the box office litmus test. And now, they have Telugu star Jr. NTR on board as the chief guest at Brahmastra's pre-release event in Hyderabad scheduled for September 2.
Why does this story matter?
Director Ayan Mukerji has revealed that it took him about 10 years to conceptualize, shoot, and ultimately finish the film. With Brahmastra, Mukerji plans to lay the foundation of the Astraverse, touted to be India's first cinematic universe. Moreover, in order to ensure that the film reaches a large section of cine-goers, filmmaker SS Rajamouli is presenting it in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
