Brahmastra is a trilogy. The first part, titled Shiva, released last year. The sequel is titled Brahmastra Part Two: Dev. A glimpse of Deepika Padukone in Brahmastra upped the curiosity as she is said to be playing the lead, Amrita, in the sequel. The character was introduced as Ranbir's Shiva's mother.
In April, Ayan announced that Brahmastra Part Two: Dev is scheduled to release in December 2026 whereas the third part will come in December 2027. In a statement, he wrote, "Hi :) The time has come - for some updates on the Brahmastra trilogy, the Astraverse, and my life! After absorbing all the love and the feedback on part 1... I have been focused on creating the vision for part two and part three - which I know will be bigger and more ambitious than part 1! I have learnt that we need a little more time to perfect the script of Brahmastra two and three! And... I have decided that we are going to make the two films... together! Allowing them to release closer together! I have a timeline in place to achieve this, which I am sharing with you all today!"
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva also starred Nagarjuna and Shah Rukh Khan in cameo roles.
