Based on director Ayan Mukerji, Brahmastra trilogy has developed into one of the most discussed film trilogies in Indian cinema. With good attention brought by Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva, fans have now started focusing on its sequel, Brahmastra Part 2: Dev, as they are anxious about knowing which actor would play pivotal characters like Amrita and Dev, whose role was pivotal in unrolling the mystical story further. Who may be playing these significant roles? Industry speculations abound, and why the casting of these characters may determine if ‘Brahmastra 2’ will be the future with a silver lining or one to forget.
1. The Brahmastra Universe: A Quick Recap
That meant the Brahmastra franchise is a blend of mythology, fantasy, and modern-day storytelling and opens up a whole new genre in filmmaking within Bollywood. The first installment, Shiva, brought Ranbir Kapoor out as Shiva, a young man who discovered his powers from heaven. However, by the end of the movie, two characters are hinted—Dev and Amrita—and the roles they play in the next sequel create an immense amount of curiosity.
2. Who is Dev?
Dev, teased at the end of Brahmastra Part 1, is going to be a very powerful villain. His character would be something like Shiva in terms of discovering and tapping into massive amounts of power. “Dev” can be interpreted as a god or demi-god in Indian mythology, which means that the entire persona may take godly powers. Casting for Dev is important because he represents the counterforce to Shiva’s journey, similar to Thanos in MCU.
3. Buzzing Cast for Dev’s Character
This can be one of the most discussed casting in Bollywood lately—Dev’s character. Although several big names have surfaced in discussions, nothing has been confirmed yet. Some of the actors playing Dev include:
- Hrithik Roshan: This one belongs to the Greek gods. He and his screen presence make for a very strong Dev candidate. His earlier roles in Krrish and War portray a larger-than-life character with charisma and power.
- Ranveer Singh: As much as fans love him, the transformation ability Ranveer Singh possesses for himself through intense characters such as Alauddin Khilji from Padmaavat makes him a good contender. His energy and on-screen appeal would make Dev quite engrossing.
- Shah Rukh Khan: The gossip mill has been perpetuating that the Bollywood superstar himself might just fit the bill. Supporters who believe he has it in him, as seen in his darker version in Don.
4. Who is Amrita?
The silent force in Brahmastra Part 1 is Amrita, Dev’s love interest and Shiva’s mom. Since much of her story goes unseen, it’s easy to realize that she’s an integral part of the power game in the Brahmastra universe. Casting for Amrita will require an actress who can project grace, strength, and wisdom in the character.
5. Contestants for Amrita’s Role
Just like Dev, several Bollywood actresses have been linked with the character of Amrita. According to tinsel town sources, here are the names that stand out prominently:
- Deepika Padukone: This one is the most prominent and well-believed name. There are theories from the fans surrounding this and a quick glance at her figure in Brahmastra Part 1. Given Deepika’s regal presence as well as the panchnama for previous films like Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat, she’d be perfect to play the role of Amrita.

- Priyanka Chopra: Another pan-global superstar, Priyanka Chopra’s ability to portray different roles from Mary Kom to Quantico has given rise to gossip that she might also be in the running for Amrita. She will bring a world audience to the franchise.
- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Her genre is talked about for this very reason, and the beauty shines on the big screen. She was rumored to essay the role, and films like Jodhaa Akbar tell the tale of her capability to complement powerful, mythological characters.
6. Impact of Cast Choice on Brahmastra Part 2
The casting of Dev and Amrita will be crucial for the prospects of the sequel. With the enormous stakes at the box office and with the detailing of these characters, the actors who can adequately represent the characters on screen should resonate well with critics and audiences alike. The wrong casting might affect the building momentum of the trilogy, but the right choices might catapult Brahmastra Part 2 to iconic status.
7. Why Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone could be the ideal duo
If the rumor is true, this will be a masterpiece. For Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, their individual trademark has been giving movies intense, larger-than-life characters. Though they have wisely capitalized on many films, the great chemistry that they have shared earlier, their star values on the silver screen can’t be diluted. “If Hrithik and Deepika get Brahmastra Part 2, the number of collections in the second installment would at least match the first,” industry insiders believe.
8. Fans Views and Theories
Fans have gone crazily wild regarding the casting of Dev and Amrita. Social media is replete with theories, artworks, and polls from fans regarding their preferred choice. The two leading hashtags that included #HrithikAsDev and #DeepikaAsAmrita had run for thousands of times, which really indicates how much attention people were paying to the casting of these two characters in the movie Brahmastra Part 2.
It is a very critical casting choice for the Brahmastra Franchise of Dev and Amrita. In consideration of top Bollywood stars, much is expected out of this step. Whether it is Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in these roles or the production comes up with unheard-of choices, the fate of this film is pretty much in the hands of these decisions. And all that waits to be announced, one thing is certain: Brahmastra Part 2 will be an explosive chapter in Indian cinema.
