Meanwhile, Ayan Mukerji says he is happy that difficult journey that went through multiple delays, a pandemic and two lockdowns has finally led to the fruition of his dream project Brahmastra: Part One Shiva.
"I knew this will be a difficult film to make, a difficult journey to embark on but I felt I was on to something that was pioneering, innovative and original, it is genuinely new," Mukerji told PTI.
"It took so long. It was such a crazy investment of time that, in a way, it obliterated who I was. It has been 10 years since my last film. I have forgotten who I was as a person before. This is one of the longer pregnancies that a director can have with a movie. I will understand a lot once we deliver the project. But this was the kind of project that needed (time)."
The film features Ranbir Kapoor as the titular hero Shiva, his actor-wife Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Mouni Roy in key roles. The basic idea, according to Mukerji, was to set a film in modern India yet seek inspiration from ancient Indian culture and spirituality as it revolves around the concept of 'astras' (weapons), which were created by sages.
The film is kind of a meeting place of modern India with a feeling of ancient Indian powers about it, which, in many ways, is what our country is. Like, we live in the modern world but Indians are a bit spiritual, close to faith, close to a feeling that something divine connects us or hangs around us, Mukerji said ahead of the film's trailer launch on June 15.
"I loved stories from Indian myth while growing up and I loved Western fantasy fiction, which I would read a lot, like Lord of the Rings' and Harry Potter'. I loved some of the blockbuster films that Hollywood was making, like Lord of the Rings' trilogy, Marvel movies. I loved that they were able to use technology and bring their fantasy storytelling alive as blockbuster cinema.
"I wanted to do the same thing but I wanted to draw from what existed in India and what I understood and felt all my life. There was a great opportunity because nobody had done that before, maybe because of us not being that comfortable with working with technology, not having the budget."
After Brahmastra trailer,?The mega-budget fantasy adventure is finally set to release in September.?
