Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, together with Ayan Mukerji, launched Brahmastra’s movement poster in Delhi on Wednesday. At the occasion, Ranbir recalled that Ayan narrated the concept of the movie to him when the 2 had been taking pictures the final schedule of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
“I remember, when we were shooting the last schedule of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, this genius friend of mine (Ayan Mukerji) narrated just the basic idea of a young man born with a great power, which he doesn’t understand fully. The power of fire,” Ranbir mentioned, including that since then the journey of making and bringing the movie for the viewers has been “a lot of hard work, sacrifices and pain.”
However, Ranbir discovered a lesson from the years of wait and exhausting work. “It taught me something very important that we have to hold on to faith. Because beyond all the pain, hard work and sacrifice is something good. This is f****g good,” he mentioned, addressing the viewers.
As the occasion proceeded, Ranbir remembered his father and late actor Rishi Kapoor and spoke about how he was completely in opposition to Brahmastra and questioned Ayan and Ranbir’s intention.
“I miss my father terribly today,” an emotional Ranbir mentioned, including that Rishi Kapoor had warned him that nobody will watch a VFX movie. “I remember during the making of the film, he kept fighting with Ayan and me, and kept questioning – ‘What are you doing? Who takes so long to make a film? Who spends so much of money? You are not making a penny on this film. VFX film kaun dekhega. No one will watch it,” Ranbir remembered.

“I hope he is proud. He is smiling,” Ranbir mentioned and went on to pay a tribute to his father by reciting his in style dialogue from Karz. “Just to pay a tribute to him – ‘Kya tumne kabhi kisi se pyaar kiya? Kabhi kisiko dil diya? Maine bhi diya.’” As he finished his dialogue, he welcomed Alia Bhatt on stage, introducing her as his ‘dil and pyar.’ An overwhelmed Alia walked on the stage and expressed how Ranbir’s speech for his father made her emotional.
“I am a little emotional because of what you said right now,” Alia advised Ranbir, who complimented her in Hindi that she is wanting very popular. “Tu itni hot lagri hai kuch ho raha hai mujhko,” he mentioned, which left the viewers rooting for the 2.
Brahmastra marks Alia and Ranbir’s first movie collectively. The two have been courting one another for a very long time. The Ayan Mukerji directorial is scheduled for September 9, 2022 launch.
