Ayan Mukerji and Brahmastra

Director Ayan Mukerji is reportedly in talks with Jio Studios to plan a multi-film deal to make his Astraverse bigger. Apart from Brahmastra 2 and 3, he is planning to helm various character spin-offs for digital platforms and animated cartoon series for kids.

After the massive success of Brahmastra in 2022, Ayan Mukerji had recently taken to social media to announce that the sequels, Brahmastra Part Two: Dev and Brahmastra Part Three, will be released in December 2026 and December 2027 respectively, as he will be taking more time to perfect the script and make the films bigger and more ambitious.

Although, earlier this week, it was reported that Ayan might be taking his Astraverse out of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Neither Ayan nor Karan has commented on this report yet.

According to a media house, Disney, who was also one of the major producers of Brahmastra, has decided to give up the film rights. A source close to the development informed that Disney is in the mode of restructuring their content strategy in India and they have slowed down on acquisition for Disney+Hotstar too. They are also taking it easy on film production. After several meetings over the last few months, Disney has decided to take a back seat from the franchise.

Dinsey has now reportedly sold all Intellectual Property rights of the Brahmastra franchise to Ayan. The source added that’s when Ayan decided to take charge. Brahmastra is a franchise dear to him and he didn’t want to let it go of his hands. He has a brought outline ready for the future of his Astraverse and he, along with Ranbir Kapoor, is on the verge of clocking a mega multi-crore deal with Jio Studios for the Astraverse.

Ayan seems to have big dreams for the franchise and apart from the sequels, he plans to make spin-offs on other characters in the format of web series, and independent feature films. He also has an animated cartoon series planned for the kids in his 10-year plan for the franchise.

Ayan will be directing the films, but the spin-offs will be helmed by other filmmakers.  The spin-offs will include Nandi Astra, Pawan Astra, and Gaj Astra for the digital platform, whereas Jal Astra will be made for the big screen.

When the deal goes through, the Brahmastra will be produced by Jio Studios with Starlight Pictures and Astra Verse.

Filmmaker Karan Johar responds that it is exceptionally poor taste when a comedian mimics him on a TV show. The filmmaker criticised the comedian in a message he posted on Instagram Stories. Additionally, he said that he expects this kind of behavior from trolls but not from those working in the film industry.

Karan Johar revealed how he encountered this comedian’s performance. He said that he was watching TV with his mother when he noticed an imitation of him in a reality show promo that was on a respected channel.

However, comedian Kettan Singh responded to the story and apologized to the director, despite Karan Johar not mentioning the show’s title. KJo was referring to the comedy show Madness Machayenge—India Ko Hasayenge, whose recent episode was called Bollywood Meri Jaan. Actor Kettan Singh was portraying Karan Johar.

The Kuch Kuch Hota Hota Hai director wrote, He was sitting and watching television with his mom when he saw a promo of a reality comedy show on a supposedly respectable channel. A comedian was mimicking him in exceptionally poor taste. Karan said, he expects this from trolls and faceless and nameless people but when people who are in industry can disrespect someone who has been in the business for over 25 years it speaks volumes about the times they live in. This doesn’t even anger him it just makes him sad, the note added.

Ektaa Kapoor also came in support of Karan, and criticised these comedians for their ugly humour.

Re-sharing Karan’s post, Ekta said, happened so many times. Sometimes, shows and even award ceremonies have offensive humour. And then they expect you to attend, she added. Karan, please ask them to imitate one movie or classic of yours, Ekta wrote.

Comedian Kettan Singh responded to Johar’s remarks by saying he was sorry to the director. He clarified that being a fan of Johar’s work and seeing him on talk shows served as the inspiration for his mimicry of the actor. The comedian also mentioned how much he admired the director’s contributions to Indian cinema.

Meanwhile, Karan Johar’s film starring Salman Khan, titled The Bull is all set to release in 2025.
