SS Rajamouli To Present 'Brahmāstra' In South Indian Languages

Mumbai, December 18 - Baahubali filmmaker, SS Rajamouli will present Karan Johar's biggest film to date under his Dharma Productions, "Brahmāstra Part One - Shiva" in South Indian languages. This is the first major step by the makers to make sure their film gets the biggest release in the country.

On Saturday, director S.S. Rajamouli announced that he will present the film in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam along with Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Karan Johar. Speaking on this occasion, S.S. Rajamouli said in a statement, "I'm truly glad to come on board and present Brahmastra to audiences worldwide in the four south languages. The concept of Brahmastra is unique, which reflects in its story and presentation. In many ways, it reminds me of Bahubali - a labor of love and passion. I have seen Ayan invest time in making Brahmāstra, patiently putting it together to get it right, much like I did for Bahubali".



"The film perfectly marries themes from ancient Indian culture with modern technology, and with cutting edge VFX that will blow your mind! A filmmaking journey that I can relate to - Ayan's vision is a new chapter in Indian cinema and I am proud to be associated with Dharma Productions once again after Bahubali. Karan has a profound understanding and sensibility for good films and I feel proud to partner with him again, and with Fox Star Studios to present this film", he added.

Rajamouli took to Twitter and announced the news with official posters, "Glad to be presenting Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Hope you like the Motion Poster and everything from #Brahmastra that comes after this. See you all in theatres on 09.09.2022".

Nagarjuna Akkineni, who was also present on the occasion says, "It has been a fantastic experience to work with Ayan and the hugely talented team of Brahmastra. This combination of ancient and modern India fascinated me and it is exciting to be a part of such a larger-than-life project. To have Mr. Rajamouli on board is a great honor for all of us and I am looking forward to presenting the film to my fans in 2022".

Interestingly, Karan Johar had presented Rajamouli's Telugu blockbuster "Baahubali" in Hindi, which went on to become the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema. And now, Rajamouli has decided to bring "Brahmāstra" to the South Indian audiences, which speaks the camaraderie between the two noted Indian filmmakers.

"Brahmāstra", which is touted to be the biggest Hindi film to date, stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in the leading roles, alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy in prominent roles. It is directed by Ayan Mukerji from his own script. It will be released in three parts, with the last two parts are being planned to release in 2024, and 2026.
