The Astraverse is waking up again, and this time it’s not just fan speculation — it’s confirmed prep and scripting in motion. Pinkvilla has exclusively learned that Ranbir Kapoor will start shooting Brahmastra 2 in April 2027, right after wrapping Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana Part 2. And the sequel isn’t just bringing back familiar faces — it might be adding a major new one too.

Ranbir’s Double Duty in the Sequel
According to sources, Ranbir will reprise his roles as both Dev and Shiva, taking on a demanding dual-character arc as the franchise expands its mythological scope. Alia Bhatt returns as Isha, keeping the emotional core of the original intact.
Deepika Padukone Could Join the Astraverse
The most intriguing update: director Ayan Mukerji is reportedly in talks with Deepika Padukone for the role of Amruta, a character the team feels needs an actor with serious screen presence. Nothing’s locked yet — it all depends on scheduling — but if it comes together, it’ll be one of the year’s biggest casting reveals in Hindi cinema.
Why the Timeline Makes Sense
Ranbir’s plate is famously full, but this sequencing gives him breathing room: finish Ramayana Part 2 by January 2027, take a short prep break, then dive into Brahmastra 2 by April. Meanwhile, Dhoom 4 has taken a backseat, confirming where his priorities currently lie.
