After
a
long
wait,
Ranbir
Kapoor-Alia
Bhatt’s
fantasy
adventure
Brahmastra
released
in
theatres
today
(September
9,
2022).
Amid
all
the
excitement
around
this
Ayan
Mukerji-directorial,
the
advanced
booking
numbers
looked
quite
promising.
Some
trade
analysts
even
predicted
that
Brahmastra
will
break
the
pandemic-era
records
of
openings
for
Hindi
films.
There
were
reports
floating
in
the
media
that
the
ticket
sale
of
Brahmastra
had
surpassed
those
of
films
like
RRR
(Hindi)
and
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2,
to
name
a
few.
However,
Ranbir
Kapoor
isn’t
too
charged
up
by
the
solid
advanced
booking
figures
of
Brahmastra.
Recently,
at
the
press
conference
for
the
film
in
Delhi,
when
Ranbir
was
asked
how
he
felt
seeing
the
good
advance
booking
numbers
for
the
film
and
whether
it
would
turn
the
fortunes
of
the
industry
which
is
having
a
dry
spell
at
the
box
office.
The
Shamshera
actor
said,
“We
cannot
take
these
figures
and
all
seriously
because
till
the
audience
doesn’t
see
the
film,
the
game
doesn’t
begin.
The
film
is
made
for
the
audience.
I
think
on
Friday,
we
will
get
to
know
where
we
are,
kitne
paani
ke
andar
hain
(how
well
we
will
fare).
But
the
feeling
is,
of
course,
positive.
We
have
come
as
Shah
Rukh
Khan
from
Dilwale
Le
Jayenge,
asking
you,
‘come
watch
our
movie!’
That’s
all.”
However,
he
added
that
his
actress-wife
and
co-star
Alia
Bhatt
is
very
much
into
the
number
game
and
even
called
her
a
trade
analyst.
Kapoor
said
that
she
is
noting
everything
when
it
comes
to
box
office.
Ranbir
told
reporters
that
he
was
fortunate
to
spend
these
last
few,
tense
days
before
the
film’s
release
with
Alia
and
the
film’s
director
Ayan
Mukerji.
“But
actually,
we
have
got
our
friend
Ayan
only
yesterday.
Till
yesterday,
he
was
working
on
the
film.
We
always
wanted
to
have
this
shared
experience,
spend
these
days
together,
feel
every
emotion.
So
yes,
it’s
a
very
exciting
time,”
the
actor
said
at
the
event.
Besides
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt,
Brahmastra
also
features
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mouni
Roy
in
leading
roles.
Bollywood
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Telugu
star
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
have
cameos
in
this
big-budget
spectacle.
