But the reason it’s called Brahmastra is because the energies, wisdom and powers in the film come from ancient India.” “Brahmastra is a weapon of Hindu God Brahma, who is called the creator of universe, and hence is considered quite powerful,” he added. Saurav is currently in Florida, US for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) training. “I am thankful to WWE for giving me the permission and allowing me to do the film,” he said. Saurav will start shooting for the film by early next month. Brahmastra is a three-part fantasy adventure movie. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the first part of the franchise will arrive in theatres on August 15, 2019.
