The release of Brahmastra: Part One—Shiva (2022) was followed by speculation around which actor would play the role of Dev in the second part of Ayan Mukerji’s trilogy. While Hrithik Roshan and KGF star Yash are said to have given Brahmastra: Part Two—Dev a miss, now rumours are rife that Ranveer Singh is the chosen one. The director is currently working on War 2, which stars Hrithik, Junior NTR and Kiara Advani. On the other hand, the actor has Singham Again, Baiju Bawra and Don 3 lined up. Scripting for the sci-fi fantasy is underway and production is expected to begin only in 2025, after the actor is through with Don 3. It is also being said that the second instalment will mark the reel union of real-life couple Ranveer and Deepika Padukone. She played Dev’s partner and mother to Ranbir Kapoor’s young Shiva in the first edition.
