Namit Malhotra has officially confirmed that work on Brahmastra 2 will begin once he finishes his massive project Ramayana. This update came directly from his interview during CinemaCon 2026 and has already sparked a lot of debate among fans and critics alike.
While the makers seem excited, many people remember that the first Brahmastra movie was widely considered a flop. Critics heavily panned the film because the story was weak and the dialogues felt cringey. Despite all the hype and the high budget, the movie failed to create any significant cultural impact. It is rare to see anyone talking about the film today because it just did not stay in the minds of the audience.
The first part ended with a cliffhanger that teased Deepika Padukone’s presence in the sequel. It looks like the producers are trying to milk the chemistry of ex lovers Deepika and Ranbir Kapoor by bringing them together again. While their pairing usually gets attention, there is a big question if this will be enough to make the sequel work. A famous lead pair cannot always save a movie if the writing remains as poor as it was in the first installment.
People on social media reacted negatively about this news. They say that Namit should only focus on Ramayana right now rather than making statements about upcomming projects. According to them, he should stop giving interviews because he often gets excited easily and exceeds people’s expectations.
