Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were shooting for 'Dragon' in London, which incidentally is also directed by Ayan Mukerji and presented by Karan Johar. However, it is not yet clear if 'Dragon' has been renamed as 'Brahmastra' and instead of a standalone film, it will be made into a franchisee and the tale which is backed by fantasy elements will be told in three parts.
