Alia Bhatt was last seen opposite Aditya Roy Kapur in Sadak 2, a Mahesh Bhatt directorial venture, also starring Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt.
A source revealed, "If the crisis is relatively under control, and things go as planned, the film will go back on floors in October. Ayan has broken down the shoot into two shifts — 9 am to 2 pm, followed by another from 4 pm to 9 pm."
He further added, "There will be two separate minimal crews for the stints, with each unit adhering to on-set safety guidelines. Since producer Karan Johar is eyeing a June 2021 release, Ayan wants to wrap up the shoot latest by December."
In 2015, Karan Johar announced to the world that his most ambitious film as a filmmaker, a superhero trilogy starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt, then titled Dragon, will open in the cinemas on December 23, 2016, but given the craft and the scale at which the makers had mounted the film, the date was pushed infinitely.
Helmed by Ayan Mukherji, Brahmastra is the first part of a sci-fi trilogy. The film has been extensively shot in Bulgaria, New York, and Mumbai, among other places.
