The truth is we are going to take a little bit of time to write it. I know there's a lot of anticipation. People want the (second part) film to come out. But first, we will write it properly without compromising it. I think it will be about three years from now before we see Brahmastra 2 on the big screen", said Ayan. ## Talking about Brahmastra's dialogues, Ayan said, "We did get some mixed reactions. We still did really good numbers. A lot of people accepted our film. It also did well when it came out on a streaming (platform). It's probably the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2022. But I still hear that criticism very clearly".## Produced by Dharma Productions, Starlight Pictures, and Prime Focus in association with Star Studios, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva also stars Amitabh Bachchan, and Mouni Roy.
