He is receiving much adulation for conceptualizing the film, making it a visual wonder. Brahmastra is an astraverse for people to experience a never seen before world of Ancient Indian Astras.

In a recent interview, Mahesh Bhatt said, “I was dazzled by Brahmastra. When I saw the film, I felt that this is a quantum leap and I have no hesitation in saying that Ayan is the James Cameron of the Indian cinema world. Of course, it required a Disney and the likes of Uday Shankar and Karan Johar and the support of Ranbir and Alia and Ayan’s entire team, but I think that it is something quite amazing.”

Mahesh Bhatt went on to say, “There is a filmmaker here who says that I am going to stand up and make movies which are going to be as good as the best content that is created by the world. And so, it’s playing overseas. Just standing up and mesmerising them by being rooted in India. They are rooted here and yet they are very contemporary in their packaging and the way it looks. It has the breath of India. It’s not referenced from somewhere, it comes from his own DNA, his own gene pool.”

Brahmastra is a cinematic universe of Hindu Mythological concepts. Brahmastra is the biggest budgeted film of 2022. Written and directed by Ayan Mukerji the film is backed by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Production.
