The Astraverse is an Indian media franchise centered on a series of three films produced by Dharma Productions, Star Studios, Starlight Pictures and Prime Focus. The shared universe was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. The first three films - Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva, Brahmāstra: Part Two - Dev, and an untitled Brahmāstra: Part Three - are loosely inspired from stories in Hindu mythology and are focused on the strongest of the astras, Brahmastra.
Development
[edit]The idea of Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva first came to Mukerji in 2011 while writing the script for his second film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.[1] Mukerji first announced that he was working on a new project in July 2014.[2] At the time, the film was titled Dragon.[3] In October 2017, Brahmāstra was officially announced by producer Karan Johar. Mukerji was signed as the director while Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were set to star. Initially, the film's title was rumoured to be Dragon but was later confirmed as Brahmāstra. Mukerji explained that the title Brahmāstra "resonates with the ancient wisdom, energies and power."[4] Mukerji also revealed that it is a "contemporary film with ancient elements."[5] In 2017, Johar revealed his plan to make the film into a film trilogy.[6][7] The preparation for the film started in January 2018.[8]
In an interview, Kapoor stated that Mukerji "has spent six years of his life working really hard to make an original story" and that the trilogy would be made over a period of 10 years[9] and refuted rumours suggesting that it is a romantic superhero film. Instead, Kapoor confirmed that the film is a "romantic-fairytale in a supernatural format". and that the film is not something which "doesn't have truth to it, or which is unbelievable".[9] Nagarjuna Akkineni also confirmed that he would be playing a "pivotal" role.[10] Mouni Roy revealed in an interview that she is the "only antagonist" in the film.[11][12]
In June 2022, Mukerji announced the film would be a part of a trilogy franchise – serving as the first instalment – under the Astraverse, a cinematic universe centered around various mystical astras.[13][14] In August 2022, Roy confirmed Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo appearance in the film.[15]
