While the event at Ramoji Film city didn’t take place, a smaller press meet was held for the pre-release event of Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukherjee, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. Director SS Rajamouli is presenting the Telugu version of the film, titled Brahmastram.
Speaking at the event, Rajamouli said that he wishes the audience could have gotten to see the massive event planned at RFC, where they could have seen Ranbir and NTR interacting in a creative way. Talking about the film’s director Ayan Mukherjee, Rajamouli said that he is a highly dedicated director, and the main reason he agreed to present the film is because Ayan’s narration reminded him of his childhood, and because the film perfectly represents our Indian culture.
NTR attended the event as the chief guest, and spoke about the entire team of Brahmastra in high regard. He said that Ranbir is an actor in whom he’s seen the kind of intensity that he only ever saw in Amitabh Bachchan before. Talking about Alia Bhatt, he said that she is the finest actress in India right now, and that she’s going to be fantastic in the movie. He thanked Karan Johar, the producer of the film, for uniting the South and North film industries, and also said that he wishes the movie does extremely well at the box office, and that he hopes that the audience will celebrate movies more than anything else, beginning with Brahmastra.
