In a shocking turn of events, the mega pre-release event of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor`s `Brahmastra` in Hyderabad`s Film City has been cancelled. The fan event was scheduled to take place from 7:00 pm onwards on Friday. However, the organisers decided to cancel the event at the last moment due to "unforeseen circumstances."

As per a source, the organisers did not get the police`s approval. Also, apparently, a political rally planned in the city may also be a reason for the police personnel being stretched. Apart from the film`s cast, Telugu stalwarts SS Rajamouli and Jr NTR were also expected to grace the event.
