    What's the story

    Telugu superstar Akkineni Nagarjuna, who is set to make his Bollywood comeback after 17 years, with Ayan Mukerji's ambitious superhero film, Brahmastra, will reportedly be seen essaying the role of an archaeologist in the film.

    The much-awaited fantasy drama also stars real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

    Notably, Nagarjuna last appeared in a Hindi film in 2003 in JP Dutta's war-drama LOC: Kargil.

    Details

    Nagarjuna shot for his portions in Varanasi, in June

    According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Nagarjuna, whose character brings a crucial turn in the film's story, has already shot his portions in Varanasi, in June.

    The shooting took place extensively at various locations in the ancient city, such as the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the Chet Singh Fort, and on the banks of the Ganga river.
