It has been a long time in the making: Producer Karan Johar picked a pretty special day to announce the ambitious, mega-project ‘Brahmastra’. It was on the 75th birthday of superstar Amitabh Bachchan on October 11, 2017, that the news broke about the movie. In an interview with IANS, director Mukerji (centre) said there were high expectations for the movie. “It’s the biggest project of my life,” the filmmaker said in 2017. “All my hopes are pinned on this film. I hope it becomes the biggest success... I am very excited about the cast but I hope the film gets even bigger than the cast.”
