Jio Studios To Produce Ayan Mukerji's 'Brahmastra' Films Along With Its Spin-Offs
Mumbai, April 15 - A few days ago, blockbuster director Ayan Mukerji announced on social media that the second and third parts of his Astra Verse Brahmastra trilogy would be released in 2026 and 2027 respectively, and that he is currently working on the script.
Soon after the filmmaker announced development on the films, it was reported that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has backed out from bankrolling the films over some issues. And now, according to Pinkvilla, Dinesy has also taken a back seat, instead, talks are in the final stage with Jio Studios to come on board as the leading producer.
"Disney is in the mode of restructuring their content strategy in India. After several meetings over the last few months, Disney has decided to take a back seat from the Brahmastra franchise", reports Pinkvilla, adding that Disney is ready to sell the complete IP of the Brahmastra franchise to Ayan, who is already a part owner.
Brahmastra has been a franchise dear to Ayan who has spent years bringing it to the big screen. He doesn't want let to go and has decided to make it with Jio Studios which is already high with the announcement of over 100 movies and shows for the next few years.
It is said that not just for the next two Brahmastra films, Ayan along with his hero Ranbir Kapoor, is also in advance talks with Jio Studios for the spin-offs from the franchise for streaming and the big screen. "Ayan has plans to make Brahmastra Part 2: Dev and Brahmastra Part 3: Shiva v/s Dev for Jio Studios, which are the tentpole attraction of the deal".
"Apart from the two pioneers, he will be making spin-offs on other characters of the Brahmastra in the format of web series, and independent feature films. The spin-offs for characters include Nandi Astra, Pawan Astra, and Gaj Astra for digital, whereas Jal Astra is expected to be made for the big screen.
Going forward, if the deal comes to fruition, the Brahmastra franchise will be produced by Jio Studios with Starlight Pictures and Mukerji's Astra Verse. Meanwhile, before starting Brahmastra (mostly in 2025), Ayan will be directing Yash Raj Films' War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. It is scheduled to go on floors by November this year.
