The long-in-the-making Brahmastra seems to have reached its last leg. As is customary with superhero projects mounted on a grand scale, the Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer went through its share of excruciating times since it went on floors in 2018. Now, as the movie is nearing the finish line, it is heard that director Ayan Mukerji has included a song at the last minute. Sources say that a large set has been erected at Film City, Goregaon, where the leads will give shape to the track over the next two weeks.

A source reveals, “While Ayan has lined up a few sequences, the primary shoot is of the song. An elaborate set has been put up, and over 40 junior artistes will be part of the number. After Alia finishes her portions, she will return to the set of Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. The next schedule of Karan Johar’s movie is lined up for December in Delhi.”

If all goes well, Mukerji will call it a wrap on his project — also featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna — by November-end.
