Brahmāstra makers clarifies the ongoing controversy

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor is in the headlines for his much awaited movie 'Brahmastra'. In the movie the actor is going to be seen with his wife Alia Bhatt, apart from her many other big actors are also sharing the screen with him and fans are eagerly waiting for this film.

Recently the makers have released the trailer which has caught the attention of the people, netizens started trolling Ranbir Kapoor for a particular scene in the trailer where Ranbir Kapoor was seen ringing a bell while wearing the shoes on.

Now holding this matter into his hand, Director Ayan Mukerji has given some clarification into this ongoing controversy. Yesterday, on Sunday, Ayan Mukerji posted on his social media account and clarified two things which includes Ranbir Kapoor's ongoing controversy.

On his Instagram account, Ayan wrote " OUR TRAILER IN 4K ! Please Click on the Link in Bio - for a better, sharper, clearer watch.

Two Things to say Today:

1) We got a lot of comments on why we didn’t load our Trailer in 4K. A better resolution is of course, the better way to see these images we worked so hard to create! So although delayed - Here it is ! ? And… Thank You for the feedback that led to us doing this ??

2) We had some people in our community, upset because of one shot in our Trailer - Ranbir’s character wearing shoes as he rings a Bell. As the Creator of this film (and a devotee), I wanted to humbly address what happened here.

In our movie, Ranbir is not entering a temple, but a Durga Puja Pandal. My own family has been organising a similar kind of Durga Puja Celebration for… 75 years! One, which I have been a part of since my childhood. In my experience, we only take off our shoes, right on the stage where the Goddess is, and not when you enter the Pandal.

It is personally important for me to reach out to anyone who may have been upset with this image… because above all, Brahmāstra is created as a movie experience which pays respect to, and celebrates - Indian culture, traditions and history. That is at the heart of why I made this movie, so it is very important to me that this feeling, reaches every Indian who is watching Brahmāstra! ?

Okay that’s all ! Happy Sunday from rainy Mumbai!! ?
