Vijay Deverakonda Is Now Expected To Play Dev In Brahmastra 2

Talking about Vijay Deverakonda’s expected entry in Brahmastra 2, a source close to the development told Bollywood Hungama, “The Brahmastra franchise is being backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Yes, there were three actors who were approached, but now, Karan is looking at roping in Vijay. The two have worked together on Liger and understand how the other person works, so it comes a no surprise.”

The source further added,

“Liger did not exactly hit the target, instead it was way off. Both Vijay and Karan are looking to work together on something that will definitely hit the mark, and kick-start Vijay’s journey in Bollywood. Given this, essaying the role of Dev in Brahmastra 2 is perfect for Vijay and plays well for the makers of the film as well.”

Apart from Vijay, many other actors like KGF star Yash, Vikram Vedha actor Hrithik Roshan, Padamaavat actor Ranveer Singh and many other actors from the industry have been rumored to play the role “dev” in Brahmastra. However time and again the director Ayan Mukerji dismissed all the rumors about approaching any actor in the second installment of his film.
