With the film being announced last year, rumours abounded that the Ayan Mukerji-directed venture was a superhero drama with Ranbir Kapoor's character apparently having the superpower of unleashing fire from his palms

He may have one of the biggest releases of the year in Sanju, but Ranbir Kapoor is just as excited about what may be one of his most ambitious films to date — Brahmastra — that is slated for release over the Independence Day weekend in 2019.
With the film being announced last year, rumours abounded that the Ayan Mukerji-directed venture was a superhero drama with Kapoor's character apparently having the superpower of unleashing fire from his palms. Talking to mid-day, Kapoor, however, clarifies that the Amitabh Bachchan and Alia Bhatt starrer doesn't exactly belong in the superhero genre. "It is actually a supernatural romantic fairy tale at heart. Ayan will never make a character that doesn’t have truth to it, or which is unbelievable. It’s too early to talk about the film, but it is something I am terribly excited about," gushes the actor.
