The Ramayana team has begun promoting the film, and recently Malhotra and actor Yash gave a few interviews at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas. According to an X post by The Climax India, at CinemaCon, Malhotra confirmed that he will take the Astraverse forward with Brahmastra 2. However, there is no confirmation yet.
Ayan Mukerji’s second part of the Astraverse film is about the love story of Dev and Amrita, which was teased in Part 1’s climax. In October 2025, Ayan Mukerji had shared some pictures from a getaway in the mountains. Fans saw a script with him and guessed that he might be working on “Brahmastra 2”. While he did not explicitly mention the movie, the hashtags of Part 2 and Om left fans intrigued.

Once this releases, he will start pre-production of Brahmastra 2. It is definitely happening. We haven’t really announced much of it, but then some really interesting announcements (will be made soon) regarding Brahmastra 2,” Ranbir said.
