Brahmastra: Ayan, Karan Johar, and Alia Bhatt describe the many astras

On Wednesday, Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, and Ayan Mukerji posted some brand-new images of the various astras (weapons) featured in their upcoming movie Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva on Instagram. Ayan can be seen introducing and breaking down the many astras that are part of the next movie, which hits theatres on September 9, in the nearly four-minute-long trailer with spectacular VFX images. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia are the leads of his magnum work. Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy are also present in the movie.

“Although Brahmastra is a fictional work, I tried to express Indian spirituality in my own unique way by making this movie. On this very important day of Guru Purnima, I wanted to go a bit more in-depth into the idea of Brahmastra, a film that I personally discovered turning me into a lifelong student of the vast wisdom contained in our ancient Indian origins. As he posted the ‘vision of Brahmastra’ on Instagram, Ayan added, “Hope you guys appreciate our creativity.

Key concept arts from the ancient Indian astras, including Vanarastra, Nandiastra, Prabhastra, Jalastra, Pawanastra, and Brahmastra, are shown in the video’s opening credits. Ayan states in the video that “Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva is the first movie of this Astraverse” when discussing the “idea of the Astraverse” (a universe of astras). It opens with a vision of a group of sages engaged in intense meditation in the Himalayas during a mystical era in ancient India. The sages are granted “The Light of the Universe” for their meditation. It is referred to as “the most potent and pure force there is” by Ayan Mukerji.

He continued by describing how astras, which include all the various forces present in nature like “fire, wind, water, and earth,” were created from this “Braham-shakti.” He referred to them as the “Jal (water), Pawan (wind), and the Agny (fire) Astra.” He also discussed astras like the Vanarastra, “which can give to the person, who controls it, the ability of a Super Monkey,” that contain the abilities of various animals. The Nandiastra, according to him, “has the strength and might of a thousand bulls within it.” One astra, however, emerged last from “The Light of the Universe,” “bearing its collective,” and was given the title “Lord of All the Others” by the sages.

The Brahmansh, a hidden society that will exist among other men and use the power of these astras to achieve good for the world, are the guardians of the Brahmastra and have sworn to defend these astras. As time passes, both Brahmastra and humanity make development. The Brahmansh continues to exist in secret in our world today, passing down the astras from generation to generation, according to Ayan.

The next adventure-tale drama’s is set in modern-day India, according to the filmmaker who is also the screenwriter for it. We are in a very unique position, in my opinion, because no one has ever used old texts in this way.

Ayan added that Ranbir Kapoor’s Agni (fire) Astra character in Brahmastra is a “wonder” because he is a “astra himself.” “He is called after the God Shiva, who is the most inspirational to me personally, the most mystical, and the all-powerful.” The much awaited Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva trailer available as of June 15. The three-minute teaser demonstrated the epic scope of the movie by jam-packing a lot of aesthetically breathtaking moments.

Khan, the most successful actor in Bollywood, made ₹25000 cr at the box office, surpassing the combined earnings of Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.

With a cumulative gross of ₹25000 crore at the box office, this ‘non superstar’ may just be the most successful Indian actor ever. But there is a small catch.
It is a testament to their domination of Hindi cinema that the three Khans have starred in most of the highest-grossing Bollywood films over the last three decades. One or the other of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan have led 90% of the biggest films in Hindi cinema during this period. So one would assume that Bollywood’s ‘most successful’ Khan would be either of these three. But that depends on what metric one chooses for success. If it is simply box office collections globally, then a fourth name – a rather surprising one at that – beats these three superstars.

Bollywood’s most successful Khan

As lead stars, there is no denying Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan’s box office pull. In their career, they are the top draw at the ticket window. Shah Rukh’s films have collectively earned just under ₹9000 crore at the box office worldwide, while Salman ( ₹7000 crore) and Aamir ( ₹6500 crore) follow closely behind. Together, their films (including overlaps like Karan Arjun and Andaz Apna Apna) have earned ₹22,000 crore. But the figure is less than what the films featuring the late Irrfan Khan have earned. Courtesy of his stellar Hollywood career that allowed him to star in many big blockbusters, Irrfan was able to leap past his more popular Bollywood colleagues. In a career that spanned over 25 years, Irrfan’s Indian films earned just over ₹2000 crore. But the bulk of his box office earnings came from his Hollywood releases, which have a combined gross of over $2.5 billion ( ₹22,500 crore).

However, one might argue that the OG Khans still win this as most of their films had them in the lead, while Irrfan was largely playing the supporting role to bigger stars like Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), and Tom Hanks (Inferno).

Irrfan Khan’s stellar Hollywood career

Irrfan made a name for himself in Hindi cinema in the early 2000s with critically acclaimed performances in Haasil, Maqbool, Life in a Metro, and Paan Singh Tomar. His breakthrough in the West came with a supporting role in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. This led to small but significant roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Life of Pi (2012), Jurassic World (2015), and Inferno (2016). His last English language film, Puzzle, starred him in the lead role alongside Kelly Macdonald. Irrfan was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, to which he succumbed in 2020. He was 53.
