Brahmastra will also reportedly be a visual spectacle with mythological and science-fiction elements.

Ayan Mukerji approached Ranbir-Deepika to play Ranbir's parents in Brahmastra? 

Brahmastra will be the first film in the mythological science-fiction film series which will span across three films. As per reports, Brahmastra is written in a way where many characters without significant roles in the first film will come to play majorly in the next two parts of the trilogy. Ayan Mukerji reportedly needed two actors from the younger generation to play Ranbir's character Shiva's parents. Thus, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were approached by the director fo the same.

Reports suggest furthermore that the film will feature Ranbir's character losing his parents at a very young age and thus Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone would have played their actual ages in the film. The actors would have had a cameo in Brahmastra part one but their backstories would come to light in the second instalment of the franchise. But, neither Ranveer Singh nor Deepika Padukone have agreed to come on-board for the project. The creative team of Brahmastra are now looking for other A-list actors to portray the roles that were initially offered to Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
