Brahmastra is going for a grand launch in a few days, with the motion poster coming out on December 15. Before that the makers shared the first look poster of Ranbir Kapoor's character from the film. It has the actor showing off his bare body that is bathed in fiery sparks with his hands aflame. As per reports, Ranbir's character has fire powers, so hence the poster makes so much sense, and leaves us curious if these powers make him the titular 'Brahmastra' - the weapon with the power to destroy the entire universe, as per Indian mythology. Ahead of Brahmastra’s Motion Poster Launch, Amitabh Bachchan Voices an Intriguing Video Featuring Ranbir Kapoor!
While the first look poster of Brahmastra is curious, it also breeds a sense of familiarity. To be fair, the poster isn't a very unique one, but when we did a little digging around the Google to remember where we had seen similar ones - movies like Aquaman came to our mind - but what we didn't expect was the poster of a Yo Yo Honey Singh song!
