Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Almost Ready Brahmastra Looking At Budgetary Cuts Ahead? Read On

The wait for Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Bramhastra has been long enough for fans as it is and if the latest reports are any indication there might be more hurdles for the mega-budget Ayan Mukerji directorial to cross.  The filmmaker’s magnum opus might be looking at budgetary cuts while filming the remaining portions.

A Bollywood Hungama report suggests that these budget cuts come after Karan Johar’s dwindling public image of late and the complications posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The portal has a source claiming, “For the remaining shooting Ayan has been asked to reduce costs drastically. Budget for post-production would also be curtailed drastically. Also, the way Ayan has been shooting Brahmastra could turn into a 3-hour plus product after editing and post-production. Ayan has been told to edit the footage to a palatable 2-hour duration.”

Brahmastra is Dharma’s most ambitious and expensive project to date. The film that was after multiple delays announced to release 24 December 2020 till the project was due to many reasons pushed further. These new restrictions might just add to the challenges being faced by the film already. The report only claims that Brahmastra budget cuts would be ‘huge’ but doesn’t specify how significant that is.

The project that will be a trilogy also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy.
