Ranveer Singh has said yes to playing Dev in Brahmastra, a source confirmed to News18 Showsha. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhat starrer Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva opened a new universe of ‘Astraverse’ for the Indian audience. Also featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy in lead roles, the film opened to a glorious response and went on to become the highest-grossing film of 2022. Even Shah Rukh Khan even had an extended cameo in the movie. While various elements were discussed, everyone was curious about who would play Dev, Shiva’s father, in the movie.
From Hrithik Roshan to Kannada star Yash and even Ranveer Singh were the names that were tossed around by fans after the film was released. A little over a year since Brahmastra’s release, a source has told News18 exclusively that one of the fan theories is right. Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani director has finally zeroed down on Ranveer to play Dev in the second installment of the Brahmastra series.
A source tells us, “Ranveer 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.”
The source adds, “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 was already revealed that Deepika Padukone is playing the role of Amrita, Shiva’s mother in the first part.
Interestingly, this will be the first time that two Bollywood off-screen couples (Ranbir-Alia and Ranveer-Deepika) will come together for a film. We reached out to Mukerji who remained unavailable for a comment.
