Brahmastra is one of the most ambitious projects of Karan Johar and there is a lot at stake as the buddy of the film is around 410 crore reportedly. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film across the globe and they have made SS Rajamouli the face of the south for the audience to bring in the theatres as Karan Johar did during Baahubali. But is the film worth a watch? Definitely yes. In fact, Amitabh Bachchan, who is a prominent part of the film and seen everything there is to see in the industry, backed producer Karan Johar and Director Ayan Mukerji's vision to the fullest for longer shooting schedules as he was totally convinced the film needed it.

A very reliable source reveals, "Amitabh Bachchan, who is a very disciplined actor, initially may have had some doubts, but was later completely convinced with Ayan Mukerji's delayed schedules and reshoots. At one point in time, after discussions with producer Karan Johar, Big B felt positive that he's investing more of his time in the right project and that KJo is doing the right thing by pumping more money into the film and that Ayan need to shoot at his own speed".

The day Amitabh Bachchan wrapped the film he only had love and respect for all the actors, he took to his Twitter and wrote, "So they tell me its a 'film wrap' for me on Brahmastra. And, as is the norm the unit applauds and everyone embraces and the good byes are done. At times they set off some confetti guns... its the done thing they say... really? Sounds more like 'thank God, good riddance'. Good riddance of the actor... had enough of him".

The source further adds," Right now Amitabh Bachchan is very hopeful that the film works at the box office as every actor and crew member has worked very very hard in the film and given their 5 long years". Ayan Mukerji is one of the most talented filmmakers in the industry and with Brahmastra he is taking a huge risk in his career, and we only hope it will be worth and fruitful. While Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt had complete faith in Ayan and stayed with him till the end. The film also had Shah Rukh Khan's special appearance in the film.
