Mumbai, Dec 15 (IANS) After teasing the audience with a special video, the makers of 'Brahmastra' have now released the motion poster of the film that blends the themes of mythology and sci-fi.
The one-minute 14-second motion poster starts off from the depths of the earth and transposes to the nebulae set in the vast eternity of the universe, alternating between warm and cool colours.
It features voice overs by Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, who familiarise the audience with what's about to unfold. Blending the themes of mythology and sci-fi, it speaks about ancient powers that are unfathomable to the general masses before lead actor Ranbir Kapoor makes an appearance with Lord Shiva overlooking him.
The film is Ayan Mukherjee's ambitious project and has been in the making for over 6 years, and this will be Ayan's first film after a period of eight years after 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'.
Earlier on Wednesday, the 'Brahmastra' team was in Delhi to promote the film. Ranbir made a grand entry on stage before being accompanied by his girlfriend Alia Bhatt on stage. Ayan too joined the couple on stage with actor Mantra and influencer Dolly Singh. The team also took a collective selfie with everyone present at the venue.
Produced by Fox Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus and Starlight Pictures, 'Brahmastra' has an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna Akkineni, and will release theatrically on September 9, 2022 in five languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Industry legends Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Padmini Kolhapure, Anil Agarwal, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, and Shabbir Kumar have lent their voices for the song.
The audience will get to see her in a never-seen-before avatar performing extreme physical training routines alongside the Veerangana Force, India's first female commando unit to tackle rising crime against women in the state.
Shot by ace photographer Taras Taraporvala, the ad features Malhotra with a ghastly 'cut' on her face seemingly made by an 'ankus' (a sharp-edged device used to control elephants), asking her fans to "try to relate" to the animal's fate by never riding an elephant. Her hairstyling and make-up were done by Natasha Mathias.
The world knew that the child had been named 'Jeh' -- his maternal grandfather Randhir Kapoor, in fact, had also referred to him as 'Jeh' when someone asked him for his name in response to the Bollywood veteran's recent tweet that he was visiting his grandchild.
A team of Lucknow Police is expected to be in Mumbai to question Shilpa and her mother Sunanda in the alleged fraud case in the name of a wellness centre.
