SS Rajamouli Reveals What He Likes About Brahmastra; Says ‘It Is Not Like A Fairy Tale’

Ayan
Mukerji’s
upcoming
fantasy
adventure

Brahmastra,
has
grabbed
everyone’s
attention
ever
since
the
makers
dropped
the
trailer
and
songs
from
this
film
which
features
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt.
Currently,
the
team
is
busy
promoting
their
film
in
different
cities.

Ace
filmmaker
SS
Rajamouli
who
is
presenting

Brahmastra
in
all
South
languages,
was
recently
all
praise
for
this
Ayan
Mukerji
directorial
at
a
pre-release
conference
in
Chennai.
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Nagarjuna
Akkineni
had
also
joined
him
for
the
promotions.

While
speaking
with
the
media,
the
RRR
director
said
that
a
film
like

Brahmastra
will
take
Indian
culture
to
the
world.
He
stated
that
what
he
liked
the
most
about
Ayan
Mukerji’s
upcoming
magnum
opus
is
that
it
is
a
commercial
way
of
telling
the
story
of
‘astras’.

Rajamouli
who
is
known
for
his
larger-than-life
films
like

Baahubali
and
RRR,
said,
“Ayan
dreamt
about
creating
a
world
that
we
have
never
seen
before
—
the
magnificent
world
of
astras
that
we
have
learnt
from
our
history,
our
puranas.
As
children,
we
heard
about
these
astras
but
have
never
seen
their
splendour.”

He
continued,
“That
is
what
Ayan
has
dreamt.
It
has
been
a
long
journey
from
2014.
He
has
been
ably
supported
by
Karan
Johar,
Ranbir,
Alia,
Nagarjuna
and
Amit
sir.
Thank
you
all
for
making
me
a
part
of
this
fantastic
journey.”

Rajamouli
was
all
praise
for
the
film’s
director
Ayan
Mukerji
and
said
that
it
isn’t
easy
to
create
the
world
what
he
has
created
in
Brahmastra.

The
filmmaker
explained,
“Ayan
has
created
a
power
which
still
has
some
limits.
He
provided
the
scope
to
create
a
bigger
villain
and
also
created
a
scope
for
the
struggle
for
good
to
win
over
evil.
It
is
not
like
a
fairy
tale.
It
is
like
a
commercial
way
of
telling
the
story
of
astras.
This
is
what
I
like
about

Brahmastra.”

Rajamouli
further
revealed
that
among
all
the
astras
including
‘Vanara
Astra’,
‘Agni
Astra’,
‘Jalastra’ and
‘Brahmastra’,
Ayan
made
sure
that
love
is
the
strongest
one.
He
said
that
the

Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
director
made
sure
that
this
point
isn’t
just
limited
to
dialogues
and
come
across
in
the
film
as
well.
The
maverick
filmmaker
said
that
this
love
will
win
over
everything.

Brahmastra
Part
One:
Shiva
is
slated
for
a
theatrical
release
on
September
9.
Besides
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Alia
Bhatt,
the
film
also

Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Mouni
Roy
