Speaking about the film, director Ayan Mukerji recently said in an interview, “There is lot of action in the film, so there is lot of training, like gymnastics kind of training, horse-riding, fighting and lot of physical stuff that Ranbir will have to do. In its (Brahmastra) core it has romance as an element but it has got a new flavour to it. With every film I am trying to evolve and grow.”
