Taking to their social media handles, Alia Bhatt, Ayan Mukerji and Karan Johar shared the ‘vision of Brahmastra’. The story is set in an Astraverse - the world of ancient Indian astras.

The video mentions seven astras around which the movie revolves. Their names are - Vanarastra, Nandi Astra, Agnyastra, Prabhastra, Jalastra, Pawanastra and Brahmastra.

In this video, Ayan Mukerji mentions that in the past few years, he and his team have created a world of Astraverse and Brahmastra part one is the first film of this verse.

The story starts with a mystical scene in ancient India where great sages are meditating in the Himalayas. The Light of the Universe blesses them with a boon for their pure devotion. The most powerful and pure energy called ‘Brahma Shakti’ descends from heaven and births astras with the power of nature and its beings.

Agnyastra, Jalastra and Pawanastra are born with the power of nature. While Vanastra has the powers of a divine monkey, Nandi Astra has the power of thousands of bulls. In the end, an Astra is born with the divine powers of all Gods and Goddesses. It controls the powers of all other astras, and sages name it Brahmastra.

The great sages vow to guard the astras with their lives and help humanity to survive and co-exist with nature. The members of this secret community are called Brahmansh. Over the centuries, they keep passing on the astras and responsibilities of their protection to the next generation.

He says that the unique selling point (USP) of the story is the mythical stories are based in modern India, and the film will portray them with a modern twist. The director mentions that the first part is a story of an ordinary man with powers of ancient astra. He is the Agnyastra, and his name is Shiva, will be played by Ranbir Kapoor
