Brahmastra trailer faces backlash for showing Ranbir Kapoor wearing shoes in a temple, netizens call it an 'epic disaster'

The Brahmastra trailer has arrived and mystery surrounding this Bollywood film has finally given eager fans some answers. However, as quickly as the excitement about the Brahmastra trailer spread on social media after its arrival this morning, as easily did a few netizens find a reason to be disappointed with the film.

Brahmastra which is filmmaker Ayan Mukherji’s magnum opus, finds its roots in the Hindu mythology and Ranbir Kapoor has been shown playing the lead Shiva, a DJ who can harness the power of one the mighty astras, which are the weapons of gods.

The project has been hailed for building a fantasy universe based on Indian mythology but a few fans were left disappoint after having minutely watch every frame in the trailer. In Ranbir’s introductory scenes show in the trailer, some netizens spotted how the character was seen sporting shoes in a temple premises.

Twitter users didn’t fail in registering their disappointment over the fact after the trailer was released after long wait of five years. While a few of these disappointed users agreed that the Brahmastra trailer was good, a few refused to accept the film entirely after discovering this one shot of Ranbir from the trailer where he’s ringing the temple bell with shoes on.

One basic etiquette, which every Hindu knows is that you don't enter the temple with shoes on your feet.

The trailer overall was OK. But this “shoe” point should have been taken care of in my opinion.#Brahmastra #BrahmastraTrailer pic.twitter.com/NtMsgqOPTu

Brahmastra's trailer is insane and i love it.

My Concern : Ranbir Kapoor's charecter ring's the Temple Bell with his shoes on in the trailer. Is it fair for the Hindus? It's not!@DharmaMovies @SrBachchan @aliaa08 #Brahmastra #BrahmastraTrailer pic.twitter.com/BBKRYompQv
