‘A neat’ addition

The Brahmastra casting grapevine may have found its latest name. After Deepika Padukone’s team confirmed that she is not part of Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, Aneet Padda is reportedly in talks to join the Ranbir Kapoor-led fantasy drama. According to a Pinkvilla report, the actor has been approached for an important role, though conversations are underway and nothing is finalised yet. In Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva (2022), Deepika made a cameo as Shiva’s mother, leading fans to expect her return opposite Dev in the sequel. 

Statement by Deepika’s team
“All recent reports of Deepika Padukone being a part of ‘Brahmastra 2’ or associated with the project in any capacity are untrue”
