It has been over two months since Rabir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra was released. Even though the movie has been garnering mixed reviews from the audience, especially after it was released on OTT platforms, the fans are eager to know more details about the second instalment of the film.
Ever since the release of the Ayan Mukerji directorial, fans have been speculating on names from the industry that would essay the roles of Amrita and Dev, Shiva’s parents.

The latest name to join the bandwagon is Vijay Deverakonda. If reports are to be believed, Karan Johar is keen on casting Vijay as Dev in the sci-fi fantasy film.
