'Brahmastra': Neetu Kapoor gives update on Ranbir-Alia starrer; 'Filming complete ho gayi'

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have become the talk of the town, not only owing to the rumours about their impending nuptials but also for their much awaited upcoming movie franchise, Brahmastra. Written and helmed by Ayan Mukerji, the film has been under development for a long haul due to the heavy VFX work and hindrances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With fans eagerly waiting to get a slight peek into its current update, Ranbir's mother and actor Neetu Kapoor has spilt some beans. 

During a promotional video for her upcoming comedy-drama Jug Jugg Jeeyo, she responded to a statement by her co-actor Varun Dhawan about Ranbir filming Brahmastra. When Varun noted that the actor is still shooting for the film, Neetu Kapoor quickly responded by saying "Wo ho gayi, wo Khatam ho gayi" (That has been completed).
