KJ’s ‘Brahmastra’ To Compete Baahubali?

For a long time, many epic films are being made in Bollywood but the one that came from the South gave them those sleepless nights. With Baahubali scoring such an amazing victory, many b-town makers are now looking forward to coming up with such a magnanimous film themselves.

Despite supporting many Baahubalian south movies like 2 Point O these days, ace filmmaker Karan Johar is still at heart looking forward to making something on the scale of Baahubali. And for that, he has now come up with an interesting team to throw that “Brahmastra” on cinema industry.

Very soon, a new film featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt under the direction of Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani fame Ayaan Mukherjee is likely to be rolled out. This film’s name is “Brahmastra” and it will release in three parts, a trilogy. Reports are coming that the film franchise is actually based on the mythological novel trilogy written by Amish Tripathi.

The Neelakanta series, which includes the books Immortals Of Meluha, The Secret Of The Nagas and The Oath Of Vayuputras, are said to be now getting converted to celluloid. Though Karan Johar hasn’t revealed anything about this, these novels actually deal with the story of bringing one ‘brahmastra’ from an adjoining kingdom to avert a major war. Due to that connection, and as there three books in lieu of Karan’s trilogy talk, many are feeling that he’s talking about the film version of these novels only.

Anyway, it looks like Karan will not sleep until he brings out a very own Hindi Baahubali to the silver screen.
