The controversy around the box office success of Brahmastra Part 1 is polarising. Twitter is divided into two groups where one claims Brahmastra as a masterpiece, while others hated the gut of filmmakers to even come up with something like this.
Here, look at these amazing facts about the Brahmastra Movie series that are quite entertaining after these shocking revelations.
1. Brahmastra movie was earlier titled Dragon
I have been following the updates and news related to Brahmastra from the moment it was announced. Only the thing to be corrected is the fact that it was titled Dragon. Also, we can see how Amitabh Bacchan compared Ranbir to the dragon with his ability to play with fire.
2. Ranbir Kapoor’s character was a Muslim named Rumi
It came on Twitter that Ranbir Kapoor’s character was supposed to be a Muslim guy named Rumi. However, creators have changed their minds after 2014’s election. (Just kidding)
3. Nagarjuna is credited as an actor instead of an extended cameo
Since the movie is released and nobody cares about spoilers. Here’s one for you. Nagarjuna is credited as a supporting actor in the film even though his screen time is less than Shah Rukh Khan’s. The only problem is that SRK is credited as an extended cameo in the movie.
