According to a report, Hrithik Roshan was offered to play a pivotal role in ‘Brahmastra 2’, however, he turned it down due to scheduling conflicts.
While Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra is garnering massive buzz as its release date nears, rumours about the film’s sequel have started making rounds. According to reports, Hrithik Roshan was offered to play Dev in the second part of Brahmastra, which is intended to be a trilogy. However, the actor has declined the offer due to scheduling conflicts as he has movies like Krrish 4 and Ramayana lined up.
The actor turned down the parallel lead role as he has two high-on visual effects films in the pipeline and doesn’t want to engage in another ambitious project for that long. Brahmastra stars Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna as well as Mouni Roy in pivotal roles.
