SRK to have ‘Brahmastra’ spin-off

Director Ayan Mukerji shared that the makers have also been thinking about a spin-off for Shah Rukh Khan character Mohan Bhargav, a scientist who wielded Vanarastra. He also shared that the idea was first floated while they were filming for the sequence.

Ayan teased that the spin-off might tell the origin story of the scientist, reports Hindustan times.

Asked about fans’ demands for a spin-off of Mohan Bhargav, which includes an online petition, Ayan Mukerji told Indian Express, “Before the fans were saying it, we were also saying that ourselves. When we were shooting the sequence in 2019, we were also saying on sets. As we discovered the personality of the scientist, we said, ‘we have to do stuff. We have to do the origins story of the scientist!’”

He also added that his team also agreed with the idea that Shah Rukh Khan’s character should not be limited to just one film. He said, “We were also vibing on that frequency, my assistants and I. So, I guess my response to the spin-off demand is that: We are already thinking about it. We are hearing everything and are planning our next moves.”

‘Brahmastra Part 1- Shiva’ stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role alongside Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy among others. Apart from Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone also featured in a guest appearance in the film. The sci-fi drama released in theatres on September 9 and has been performing well at the box office. Ayan has plans to make two more films in the franchise, with which he intends to establish a multiverse- called Astraverse.
