Ranveer Singh CONFIRMED to Play Dev in Ranbir Kapoor Starrer Brahmastra 2?

Ranveer Singh has said yes to playing Dev in Brahmastra, a source confirmed to News18 Showsha.

The first movie in the series, Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva, was a big hit and opened a new universe of “Astraverse” for the Indian audience. It starred Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy.

There was a lot of speculation about who would play Dev, Shiva’s father, in the second movie. Some fans thought it would be Hrithik Roshan, Kannada star Yash, or even Ranveer Singh.

Now, a source has told News18 exclusively that Ranveer Singh has been cast as Dev.

A source tells us, “Ranveer has been finalised to play the role of Dev. He has signed the dotted line. The scripting for the second part is still in progress and the film is expected to roll in 2025. Currently, Ayan is busy with War 2 and Ranveer will also begin shooting for Baiju Bawra this year. So, when Brahmastra 2 will go on floors is still unclear.”

The source adds, “If all goes well, Ranveer will kick-start Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra mid-2024. While it was decided that the shoot of Brahmastra 2 will begin in early 2025, it is now being said that Don 3 will go on floors at around the same time. In all likelihood, Ranveer will shoot for Don 3 first and then Brahmastra 2.” It was already revealed that Deepika Padukone is playing the role of Amrita, Shiva’s mother in the first part.

Interestingly, this will be the first time that two Bollywood off-screen couples (Ranbir-Alia and Ranveer-Deepika) will come together for a film. We reached out to Mukerji who remained unavailable for a comment.
