Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been in a relationship for a while now and the duo is all set to collaborate for the first time for the mega-ambitious and budgeted Superhero franchise, Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji. And now, a report says that the duo is all set to reside in the same building.
A report in Pinkvilla states that the building is situated at the Pali Hill area in Bandra, where Kapoor stays at the seventh floor. The Sadak 2 actress is going to reside on the fifth floor and the apartment has cost her around Rs. 32 crores. The report also says that Gauri Khan has been given the responsibility to give her touch to the new abode of the actress.
Coming back to Brahmastra, the drama also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Dimple Kapadia, and Mouni Roy. This film was earlier titled Dragon and was slated to release on Christmas 2016. However, due to the massively mounted scale, the makers needed more time to shape and enhance it.
It was then announced that the drama would be released on Independence Day 2019 and then December 4, 2020, but owing to the lockdown, the release date might get pusged further. Due to the on-going pandemic, a lot of big Bollywood films like Sadak 2, Laxmii and Coolie No. 1 made their way to the OTT platform. Will Brahmastra be the next one? It seems Johar isn't really ready for the same.

All the efforts of Dharma Productions and Fox Star Studios are on completing the first part.
