Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Brahmastra to be released on 9 September 2022

The sci-fi epic Brahmastra (2022), starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, has finally got a release date. After years of conceptualization and numerous delays owing to various reasons, including the two lockdowns, the first part of the highly awaited entertainer will hit the screens on 9 September 2022.

The makers announced the release date during the project's motion poster launch, which was held on Wednesday at a special event in Delhi.

The poster opens with Kapoor’s voice claiming that there is something happening on earth that is beyond the understanding of normal people. Bhatt then asks why he is the only one who can sense this.

Towards the end of the clip, Kapoor is seen holding a VFX-enhanced flaming trident with Lord Shiva in the background. The rousing background score also adds to the epicness of the clip.

The ambitious drama, which is said to be a passion project of Ayan Mukerji, has been in the making for seven years now. Mukerji's magnum opus was first announced in July 2014 and at that time, the film was set to be released on 23 December 2016.

In the film, Kapoor will be playing the role of Shiva, who has been born with some special powers. 

Backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Dimple Kapadia, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna.
