Ranbir Kapoor in a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar reacted to these claims of Brahmastra’s budget shooting past Rs 650 cr. He cleared the air around the rumours doing the rounds and without disclosing the actual numbers the actor revealed that the huge budget was not just for part 1 but the entire trilogy. He further added that Brahmastra does not follow the usual economics of a film as it was a VFX-heavy project and it required the makers to invest in building assets that will also be used for future projects. ” The figures (for this film) that are floating around are wrong,” concluded Ranbir Kapoor.
