Ayan wants Brahmastra to be biggest success ever
Mumbai
October 13, 2017
Director Ayan Mukerji is all excited for one of his most
ambitious project "Brahmastra" and hopes the film becomes "the biggest success
of his career as well as of the film industry".
"It's the biggest project
of my life. All my hopes are pinned on this film. I hope it becomes the biggest
success... I am very excited about the cast but I hope the film gets even bigger
than the cast."
The cast -- Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor
and Alia Bhatt -- all come together "because of the story and theme of the
film", Ayan said, speaking at the opening ceremony of the Jio MAMI 19th Mumbai
Film Festival on Thursday here.
Earlier tentatively titled "Dragon",
"Brahmastra" was renamed and announced by producer Karan Johar only two days
back on the 75th birthday of megastar Amitabh.
Ayan is rather
close-lipped on anymore information about his "dream project. "I will not be
able to give information right now but all I can say is, this film is a modern
day film."
"It is set in India as it exists today but the name of the
film is called 'Brahmastra' because the energy, wisdom and powers in the film
come from ancient India.
"As far as costumes are concerned, there are
some which may not be the way you would expect them to be".
On working
for the first time with Amitabh Bachchan, Ayan said: "It's a great honour for me
as it would be for any filmmaker to be working with him, in his 75th year
especially.
"Ever since this film was conceptualised, I wanted to
approach him for the film and make this film with him. So I am very happy that
he is part of team 'Brahmastra'."
"Brahmastra" is a fantasy adventure
film, the first part of a trilogy and it will hit the screens on August 15,
2019.
Karan Johar's Dharma Productions will collaborate with Fox Star
Studios and Namit Malhotra, CEO of Prime Focus for "Brahmastra".
