Deepika Padukone expected to lead ‘Brahmastra 2’ as Amrita
Deepika Padukone is expected to take on a full‑fledged role in ‘Brahmastra 2: Dev’, with industry reporting consistently indicating that her casting is locked in principle. Deepika appeared briefly in ‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’ as Amrita, mother of Shiva, and director Ayan Mukerji has written the character as central to the second chapter of the Astraverse.
Trade sources say Deepika has been part of the sequel’s planning since the first film, with only the formal announcement pending. Current updates reiterate that she will headline the film alongside Ranbir Kapoor, who plays both Shiva and Dev in the upcoming instalment.
