After Shah Rukh Khan, Now Nagarjuna Hints At A Spin-Off Of His Brahmastra Character

Loud
whistling
and
hooting
were
heard
in
theatres
when
Nagarjuna
as
Anish
entered
a
scene
in

Brahmastra.
When
he
showed
us
just
a
glimpse
of
the
Nandi
Astra’s
power,
the
entire
crowd
gasped
and
then
shouted
in
unison
due
to
excitement.
Such
was
the
charisma
of

The
Ghost
star.
However,
as
mesmerised
as
they
were
with
Nagarjuna’s
performance,
they
were
equally
disappointed
with
the
length
of
his
role.
His
portrayal
as
one
of
the
key
protectors
of
the
Brahmastra
has
left
fans
wanting
for
more
of
the
calm
and
mature
character,
leading
them
to
petition
director
Ayan
Mukerji
and
makers
to
utilise
him
in
future
Astraverse
projects
and
even
cast
him
in
his
own
spin-off.

In
an
interview
with
Indian
Express,
Nagarjuna
talked
about

Brahmastra’s
success,
and
a
possible
spin-off
of
his
character
Anish.
Acknowledging
the
audience’s
positive
response
to
the
film,
Akkineni
said,
“I
think
it
is
not
just
me,
they
gave
that
kind
of
response
to
everybody.
They
responded
that
way
to
the
film
itself.
My
fans
shared
how
there
are
a
lot
of
uproars
and
people
are
having
fun
while
watching
the
film.
I
am
glad
this
happened
to
Brahmastra.
We
really
worked
hard
for
it.”

Regarding
Anish’s
spin-off
opportunities,
Nagarjuna
said
that
he
and
Ayan
Mukerji
are
in
talks
about
the
character’s
future
prospects
in
the
Astraverse.
He
said,
“We
are
paying
attention
to
and
are
enjoying
all
the
fan
theories.
Anish
is
such
a
powerful
character.
I
love
the
Nandi
Astra.
We
had
to
show
that
when
the
Nandi
Astra
takes
over,
he
shifts
from
a
calm
and
composed
man
to
someone
completely
different.
Let’s
see.
I
told
Ayan,
‘Make
one
huge
success
and
we’ll
talk
about
these
things’.”

The
actor
also
shared
how
he
did

Brahmastra
not
only
because
of
its
concept
but
also
because
he
wanted
to
do
a
Hindi
film
for
his
fans.
He
said
that
he
sees
notifications
on
his
social
media
handles,
and
many
of
them
ask
him
when
he’ll
do
a
Hindi
film
again.
“So,
Brahmastra
is
for
my
fans
asking
me
to
do
a
Hindi
film,” said
the
actor.

After
Brahmastra,
Nagarjuna
will
next
be
seen
in
the
Telugu
action
thriller

The
Ghost.
