Ayan Mukerji has moved on to his next project - now that Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's War 2 is out on OTT. The filmmaker had recently left netizens divided on an opinion - of whether he is working on Brahmastra 2 or Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sequel. His latest post has now convinced them that he is working on Brahmastra 2 for sure, and they have strong opinions on the same. While the confusion around casting remains, the most popular sentiment is happiness for the franchise's comeback. Here's their reaction...


Ayan Mukerji shared more photos from his recent trip. The filmmaker posted these images along with the Om emoticon - which netizens have taken as a big hint for Brahmastra 2. Most of them are convinced that the filmmaker has moved on to Brahmastra: Part 2 - Dev.
While Brahmastra: Part 1 - Shiva saw Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the casting is likely to undergo a change in Brahmastra: Part 2 - Dev. The most obvious choice at the time appeared to be Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. However, whether Ralia will completely disappear from the story, have a cameo appearance or be inter-linked is all a big suspense at this point. Various actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan had left an impact with the film, but their return also remains uncertain at this point.
Although the demand for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sequel is at an all-time high, there is no confirmation from Ayan about the movie. The original film did not end at a cliffhanger hinting at it turning into a franchise either, but fans cannot help demanding a franchise and seeing more of Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor) and Naina (Deepika Padukone)'s moments.
