Have you heard? A quick reshoot

Ayan Mukerji, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor

Even as the trailer of Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is being readied for release on June 15, it is now learnt that director Ayan Mukerji reshot some portions over four days. The revelation was made by Ranbir Kapoor during a recent event for the sci-fi fantasy film, with SS Rajamouli. Ranbir revealed that after his director-friend showed their upcoming movie to the RRR maker's father, KV Vijayendra Prasad, the veteran screenwriter suggested some changes. "After your father watched the film and gave his suggestions, Ayan made us reshoot for four days. This is because he values him so much and we all are very grateful for his contribution to our film," Ranbir told Rajamouli at the gathering. Later, the Baahubali maker joked that he has a complaint against Ayan. "I came to Mumbai twice after the release of RRR, yet he hasn't shown the film to me. But he showed the entire film to my father. I am quite upset with him," he quipped.

Ad-libbing with Vicky, Katrina

While Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are already the faces of the brand, we hear Vicky and Kat are being signed on for a different collection aimed at a younger audience. Interestingly, it's the same brand SRK and Gauri signed up to endorse together, years after they featured in a soap ad.
