The first part of the trilogy which is set to release next year is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 100 crore. In an early interview, director Ayan Mukerji had said, “This film is a modern day film. It is set in India as it exists today but the name of the film is Brahmastra because the energy, wisdom and powers in the film come from ancient India. As far as costumes are concerned, there are some which may not be the way you would expect them to be.”

Apart from this project, Ranbir Kapoor has ‘Shamshera’ and Luv Ranjan’s next in his kitty whereas Alia Bhatt has ‘Gully Boy’ and ‘Kalank’.
