Well, this one sounds damn exciting. For those who don’t know, the working title of the movie was ‘Dragon’. So, for those who are unaware, ‘Brahmastra’ is a Sanskrit word which means an astra (weapon) created by Lord Brahma. Similar weapons like Brahmashirsha astra and Brahmanda astra were also created to be even more powerful. (Also Read: Karan Johar is so envious of Sanjay Leela Bhansali!)

Yesterday, at the same time, Karan had shared the first announcement in the form of a movie named ‘Kesari’. The movie is jointly presented by Karan Johar and Akshay Kumar and is based on one of the bravest battles that were fought in India; the Battle Of Saragarhi. It is directed by Anurag Singh and features Akshay Kumar in the lead role and will be releasing during Holi 2019. Have a look at his tweet:
