Brahmastra has made more than Rs 330 crore globally against a reported budget of Rs 410 crore, according to Bollywood Hungama. Ayan has expressed interest in making spinoff films beyond the main trilogy. While the film hasn’t yet recovered its budget theatrically, there’s hope that it ultimately recovers cost through ancilliary avenues.

Brahmastra also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy and Nagarjuna Akkineni, and features Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika and Dimple Kapadia in cameos. Deepika and Ranveer, who are married in real life, have starred together in several films over the years, including a three epic romances directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
