The film was supposed to hit the screens in Christmas 2019 but got delayed and was finally releasing on December 4, 2020.

When we say promotions, we don't mean actors making joint appearances or giving interviews, instead the producers are thinking about releasing a special preview that would get the audiences excited for this fantasy adventure. A source close to the development in his conversation with Mumbai Mirror said, "It’s a scaled-up film and they are planning a prolonged campaign with a series of videos leading up to the release like it happens in the West. The first of the lot is expected to be out by August, once the visuals are polished."
Director Ayan Mukherjee is actively working with his post-production team in London and Mumbai while simultaneously working on part two of Brahmastra. He wants to ensure that post the release of part one, he doesn't take any time between part two and part three. Considering it's a trilogy, he wants them to release in short intervals.

Coming to plot of the movie, the source explained saying, “The franchise is a fight between good and evil to find the most powerful weapon in the universe, the Brahmastra, that’s divided in three parts and hidden in the land of the God." Besides Ranbir and Alia, the film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna, Dimple Kapadia and Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo.
