Big Brahmastra 2 update out now! Namit Malhotra opens up at CinemaCon 2026 about the future of Ranbir Kapoor’s Astraverse sequel.
While the actor is currently busy gearing up for his upcoming epic Ramayana, a fresh development about the next chapter of the Astraverse has now come to light from CinemaCon 2026.
According to the latest revelation, work on Brahmastra 2 is expected to begin soon after the completion of Ramayana, giving fans hope that the long-delayed sequel is finally moving closer to reality.
Brahmastra 2 Update: Producer Namit Malhotra Shares Major Update
Producer Namit Malhotra, who is currently attending CinemaCon 2026 to promote Ramayana, opened up about the future of the ambitious fantasy franchise during the event.
He revealed that once the team wraps up work on Ramayana, their complete focus will shift toward developing Brahmastra 2.
Malhotra shared that his next major priority will be expanding the Astraverse, the cinematic universe introduced in the first film.
His statement has created a buzz among fans who have been eagerly waiting for any official word regarding the sequel’s progress.
Ranbir Kapoor Previously Hinted at Bigger Plans
Ranbir Kapoor had earlier teased exciting details about Brahmastra Part 2 in a previous interview, hinting that the sequel is being designed on a much larger scale than the original.
Speaking about director Ayan Mukerji’s vision, Ranbir revealed that the script is still in active development and that the filmmaker is constantly working on it.
The actor shared that Ayan had narrated the story to him and explained that the sequel is planned to be “10 times bigger” than the first installment in terms of scale, storytelling, and character development.
This suggests that audiences can expect an even grander cinematic experience when the sequel eventually hits theatres.
Ranbir Kapoor Busy With Ramayana First
Before returning to the Astraverse, Ranbir Kapoor is currently focused on Ramayana, one of the most ambitious mythological films in Indian cinema.
The big-budget project is presently in post-production, and anticipation around the film continues to rise with every update.
Since Ramayana remains the team’s top priority for now, Brahmastra 2 will officially move into production only after the mythological epic is completed.
Still, Namit Malhotra’s latest statement confirms that the sequel remains very much in the pipeline and has not been shelved.
Fans Excited for Astraverse Return
The original Brahmastra, released in 2022, introduced audiences to a new fantasy universe in Bollywood and ended with strong hints toward future installments.
