Mouni Roy also said, “I am really looking forward to it. What is more liberating for me is playing different characters that challenge me.” The first installment, Brahmastra, was initially scheduled to release during the season of Christmas this year. However, director Ayan Mukerji stated that his team requires more time to get everything perfect and hence it would be hitting the silver screens only by next summers.
