The film is reportedly competing with the likes of Tiger Zinda Hai, Sanju, Sultan and Dangal.
Meanwhile, NCR is selling the most expensive ticket for Brahmastra. Based on the prices seen on BookMyShow, a ticket for Brahmastra at PVR Directors Cut, Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj, costs a whopping Rs 2,200, sans the overhead charges.
Brahmastra has been subjected to boycott calls for over a month now for several reasons. Most recently was when an old video of Ranbir talking about enjoying beef went viral. While Brahmastra is tackling the boycott calls, it is also reported that several theatres in Mumbai opted to temporarily shut down theatres due to lack of business and have their hopes pinned on Brahmastra to revive the business.
Ayan Mukherji’s directorial Brahmastra features Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna Akkineni. The film marks the first of the three-part series planned. It also features Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo role while it is rumoured that Deepika Padukone is also in the film. Brahmastra is set to hit cinemas on September 9.
