Development

Producer Karan Johar announced the film via Twitter on 11 October 2017 revealing that it would be made into a film trilogy.[12][13] The preparation for the film started in January 2018.[14] In an interview, Kapoor revealed that Mukerji "has spent six years of his life working really hard to make an original story" and that the trilogy would be made over a period of 10 years[15] and refuted rumours suggesting that it is a romantic superhero film. Instead Kapoor confirmed that the film is a "romantic-fairytale in a supernatural format." and that the film is not something which "doesn't have truth to it, or which is unbelievable".[15]

Initially the film's title was rumoured to be Dragon but was later confirmed as Brahmāstra. Director Ayan Mukerji explained that the title Brahmāstra "resonates with the "ancient wisdom, energies and power,".[16] Mukerji also revealed that it is a "contemporary film with ancient elements."[17]

Nagarjuna also confirmed that he would be playing a "pivotal" role.[18] Mouni Roy reavealed in an interview that she is the "only antagonist" in the film.[19]

Characters

Director Ayan Mukherjee revealed that the inspiration behind actor Ranbir Kapoor's character came from Rumi who also inspired the first look of his character. Mukherji also drew inspiration from Rumi's work: "love is the bridge between you and everything" to build the foundation of the film. Later, Mukherji revealed that the Rumi-inspired look was scrapped and Kapoor had gotten a haircut instead.[20]

Kapoor revealed his experience with look tests for the film expressing that it is a "tedious job, sticking removing applying de applying and applying again, until some decision is reached"[21]
