Once this releases, he will start the pre-production of Brahmastra 2. It is definitely happening. We haven’t really announced much of it but then some really interesting announcements (will be made soon) regarding Brahmastra 2,” he had said.
Ranbir had also spoken about about his next film, Love and War, which is being directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
