Brahmastra: S.S. Rajamouli to present Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam – Times of India

On Saturday, director S.S. Rajamouli announced that he will present the film in four South languages along with Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Karan Johar. The director, best known for his work on the ‘Baahubali’ franchise and the upcoming film ‘RRR’, will present ‘Brahmastra’ in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Speaking on this occasion, S.S. Rajamouli said in a statement, “I’m truly glad to come on board and present Brahmastra to audiences worldwide in the four south languages. The concept of Brahmastra is unique, which reflects in its story and presentation. In many ways, it reminds me of Bahubali – a labour of love and passion. I have seen Ayan invest time in making Brahmāstra, patiently putting it together to get it right, much like I did for Bahubali.”

He continues, “The film perfectly marries themes from ancient Indian culture with modern technology, and with cutting edge VFX that will blow your mind! A filmmaking journey that I can relate to – Ayan’s vision is a new chapter in Indian cinema and I am proud to be associated with Dharma Productions once again after Bahubali. Karan has a profound understanding and sensibility for good films and I feel proud to partner with him again, and with Fox Star Studios to present this film.”

Nagarjuna Akkineni who was also present on the occasion says, “It has been a fantastic experience to work with Ayan and the hugely talented team of Brahmastra. This combination of ancient and modern India fascinated me and it is exciting to be a part of such a larger than life project. To have Mr. Rajamouli on board is a great honour for all of us and I am looking forward to presenting the film to my fans in 2022.”

An excited Ayan Mukerji, shares, “Brahmastra is a dream that I have been nurturing for years. It’s an ambitious trilogy and the journey so far has been nothing short of exhilarating. I have given this film everything and I will continue to pour my heart into this. I feel blessed to have an amazing mentor like S.S. Rajamouli sir come on board. It is his film, Bahubali, that gave me the confidence to pursue my dream courageously. And to have his name attached to Brahmastra is the biggest endorsement.”

Brahmastra: Part one, is the first part of a 3-part film franchise and the beginning of India’s first original universe – the Astraverse. It is a new cinematic universe inspired by deeply rooted concepts and tales in Indian mythology but set in the modern world.
