'Deepika Is Not A Part Of Brahmastra 2': Actor's Spokesperson Confirms

Deepika Padukone will not be seen in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra 2. The actor's spokesperson has denied recent reports claiming that she was set to play a key role in the upcoming film.

"All recent reports of Deepika Padukone being a part of Brahmastra 2 or associated with the project in any capacity are untrue," the spokesperson told NDTV.

A recent report by Pinkvilla had claimed that Ayan and his team were keen to cast Deepika as Amruta in the next chapter of the Astraverse. However, her team has now clarified that she has no association with the project.

Ranbir Kapoor is expected to return as Shiva in Brahmastra 2. The actor is reportedly set to finish shooting for Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana Part 2 by January 2027. 

He will then have a short preparation period before beginning work on Brahmastra 2 in 2027.

Released in 2022, Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva introduced Ranbir Kapoor as Shiva, a young man who discovers his connection with the powerful Astras.

Alia Bhatt played Isha, while Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna also played a key role in the film. The first part ended with the mystery around Dev, setting up the story for the sequel.

The film marked the beginning of Ayan Mukerji's planned Astraverse and became one of the most talked-about Indian fantasy films in recent years.

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
