Alia heads to Bulgaria to prep for Brahmastra

It's been almost a year since we haven't seen Alia Bhatt on screen. She last appeared in Karan Johar's Badrinath Ki Dulhania opposite Varun Dhawan and has been busy with her upcoming projects ever since. Alia will be shortly seen in Meghna Gulzar's forthcoming directorial Raazi. Besides Raazi, she has Karan Johar's next production Brahmastra in her hand. We hear that the actress has jetted off to Bulgaria to start her preparations for the upcoming movie.

On Sunday, Alia took to her Instagram stories, where she shared a photograph of herself. She captioned it, "Bulgaria Calling. Brahmastra." Minutes later she shared a view of the snow in Sofia in Bulgaria, from the aircraft and wrote, "Winter is here."


To be helmed by Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani fame Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra is a fantasy adventure trilogy. Karan Johar is bankrolling the project under the banner of Dharma Productions.

Besides Alia Bhatt, the mega-budgeted film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. This will be the first time when all these actors will be coming together for a project.

The first part of the trilogy is slated to release on Independence Day, August 15, 2019.
