There is no official report in the media that suggests that filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has moved out of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions with the Brahmastra franchise. Yet, there are rumours about the same. Recently we saw the filmmaker announcing about making the 2nd and 3rd parts of the popular franchise. However, in none of his tweets and social media posts, he tagged Karan Johar or his production company. The move comes as a surprise to many, as Mukerji has been associated with Johar’s production house for several years and has worked on several successful projects together.
If rumors are to be believed, Mukerji has decided to form his own production company and will be producing the Brahmastra franchise independently. The decision is said to have been made in order to give Mukerji more creative control over the project and to allow him to fully realize his vision for the film.
Brahmastra, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles, has been in development for several years and is one of the most anticipated films in Bollywood. The film, which is being touted as a supernatural action-adventure, has been described as a passion project for Mukerji, who has reportedly been working on the script for several years.
While the news of Mukerji’s departure from Dharma Productions may come as a surprise to fans, it is not uncommon for filmmakers to strike out on their own in order to pursue their creative ambitions. Mukerji is a talented and accomplished filmmaker in his own right, and the move may allow him to bring a fresh perspective to the Brahmastra franchise.
Moreover, Dharma Productions is a large and successful production house with many other projects in development, and the departure of one filmmaker is unlikely to have a significant impact on its overall business. Johar and Mukerji are reportedly still on good terms, and it is possible that they may collaborate on future projects down the line.
