Introducing you to Ayan Mukerji's Astraverse “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva”, where great sages meditated in the Himalayas and learned to control the Great Astras, powers of animal or elemental gods. Brahmastra was the Lord of all Astras.
 
Ayan Mukerji's passion for steering a ship for so long almost created a generational divide in his audience's cinematic approach.
 
Ayan Mukerji has wisely prioritized the script above the plot because every shot is an artwork.

Everyone who has seen the trailer knows that Ranbir Kapoor's character, Shiva, has an unusual relationship with fire — it doesn't burn him and he has complete control over it.
