After a long wait, Ayan Mukerji's ambitious film 'Brahmastra', the first of the three-part movie was released in theatres last year. While the film opened to mixed reviews, it had people talking about the possible story angles and the casting the in forthcoming films. While the makers showed a glimpse of Deepika Padukone as  Ranbir Kapoor's character's mother, the face of the father was kept a secret. However, there were assumptions that it was played by Ranveer Singh. 

Now, a year after Brahmastra's release it has been reported that Ranveer has given his nod to play the role of Dev in the second installment of the film. According to a report in News18, a source informed them that Ranveer Singh has agreed to play the role. Dev is the father of Ranbir Kapoor's character Shiva in the film. Apart from Ranveer Singh, names like Hrithik Roshan, and Yash were in the mix to play the character.
