Now that the first film in the Brahmastra trilogy is rocking at the turnstiles, speculation as to who will play the lead in Part 2 has begun to explode all over the social media and internet.

The names most often flung into the virtual stratosphere are Hrithik Roshan and Ranveer Singh, though neither is anywhere close to actually being signed for Brahmastra Part 2: Dev.

A source close to the project brands the media speculation as premature, “The key casting of Dev for Part 2 is some way away. Deepika Padukone is already locked in to play the female lead. As for the male lead, Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh are being considered. Kartik Aaryan is also under serious consideration.Producer Karan Johar and director Ayan Mukerji may opt for an international actor this time.”

The second part of Brahmastra would employ an even more sophisticated technical crew, though the budget which went haywire in Part 1 for several reasons(Covid being the major villain) would be far more controlled in Part 2.
