Salman had earlier shared his look from the film while announcing the wrap up of the first schedule at the Ahilya Fort in Maheshwar. He also shared another close-up of himself from the sets while revealing the completion of his popular franchise song ‘Hud Hud Dabangg’.
Brahmastra director Ayan, who recently made his Instagram debut, is probably the most active user on the photo-sharing application, sharing the anecdotes about the making of his film. Ayan shared a picture with Alia, and revealed that he met the actress as a child when he was an 18-year-old. He also unveiled a picture of Ranbir, and said that the character was initially supposed to be called Rumi , before Shiva came along.

Beginnings. Tel Aviv, Israel… Beginning of 2018, and the beginning of many things… We were in Tel Aviv to prepare for our first shooting schedule with a very special member of our team, and it marked the beginning of Ranbir and Alia working together for the movie and getting to know each other… Brahmāstra has come with a lot of travel, to find creative collaborations everywhere in the world… something I hope will add greatly to the film eventually #brahmastraA post shared by Ayan Mukerji (@ayan_mukerji) on Mar 27, 2019 at 4:13am PDT
Both, Dabbangg 3 and Brahmastra are highly awaited mega-budget films of the year. While Salman’s Dabbangg is a third instalment in the successful franchise, Brahmastra is the first part of the fantasy trilogy. With a stellar star cast, a thriving production, it will be worth witnessing if one of the two films bow out from the clash.
