Following the release of 'Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva' in 2022, various speculations emerged regarding the portrayal of the character Dev in the film's sequel. Reports suggested actors like Hrithik Roshan or Kannada star Yash might step into the role, but there was no official confirmation on the same. According to recent reports, it's now rumoured that Ranveer Singh has been finalised to portray the character of Dev in the second installment of the film series. For the unversed, Dev was introduced as the antagonist at the conclusion of 'Brahmastra: Part One.'
Ranveer Singh To Play Dev
Although the script for the film is still in development, there's news of Ranveer Singh being in talks to take on this role. The filming schedule for 'Brahmastra 2' remains uncertain at this stage. Ayan Mukerji is currently occupied with 'War 2,' while Ranveer Singh has commenced shooting for 'Baiju Bawra.'
According to a report in News 18, "Ranveer Singh has been finalised to play the role of Dev. He has signed the dotted line. The scripting for the second part is still in progress and the film is expected to roll in 2025. Currently, Ayan is busy with War 2 and Ranveer will also begin shooting for Baiju Bawra this year. So, when Brahmastra 2 will go on floors is still unclear. If all goes well, Ranveer will kick-start Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra mid-2024. While it was decided that the shoot of Brahmastra 2 will begin in early 2025, it is now being said that Don 3 will go on floors at around the same time. In all likelihood, Ranveer will shoot for Don 3 first and then Brahmastra 2."
It is for the first time that the two renowned off-screen Bollywood couples, Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone, are set to appear together in a film. In 'Brahmastra,' Deepika Padukone portrays the character of Amrita, who is depicted as Ranbir Kapoor's mother in the movie.
