Brahmāstra was announced in July 2014 by producer Karan Johar. Ayan Mukerji was signed as the director while Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt were set to star. Initially, the film's title was rumoured to be Dragon but was later confirmed as Brahmāstra. Mukerji explained that the title Brahmāstra "resonates with the ancient wisdom, energies and power,". Mukerji also revealed that it is a "contemporary film with ancient elements."[23]


In 2017, Johar revealed his plan to make the film into a film trilogy. The preparation for the film started in January 2018. In an interview, Kapoor stated that Mukerji "has spent six years of his life working really hard to make an original story" and that the trilogy would be made over a period of 10 years[27] and refuted rumours suggesting that it is a romantic superhero film. Instead, Kapoor confirmed that the film is a "romantic-fairytale in a supernatural format." and that the film is not something which "doesn't have truth to it, or which is unbelievable".[27]


Nagarjuna Akkineni also confirmed that he would be playing a "pivotal" role. Mouni Roy revealed in an interview that she is the "only antagonist" in the film.


Themes

While Brahmastra is a work of fiction, my attempt has been to celebrate Indian spirituality, in my own way, through this movie


— Mukerji, Hindustan Times

In July 2022, a video was released featuring Mukerji explain the mystical universe of various āstras named Astraverse. He explains how from the "Brahm-Shakti", āstras were born, which compose all the different energies that are found in nature like Jal (water) Āstra, Pawan (wind) Āstra, and the Agney (fire) Āstra. He also talked about āstras that store the powers of different animals like the Vanarāstra, which can give the power of a "divine" monkey to the person who controls it, and the Nandiāstra, which contains the power and strength of a thousand bulls, within itself. The last āstra to emerge from the universe, carrying the collective power of the Brahm-Shakti – called the "lord of all the [āstras]" – is explained to be one of the most powerful celestial weapons of gods (or Devas) in Hindu mythology, the Brahmāstra.


Characters

Mukerji revealed that the inspiration behind actor Kapoor's character came from Rumi who also inspired the first look of his character. Mukerji also drew inspiration from Rumi's work: "love is the bridge between you and everything", to build the foundation of the film. Later, he revealed that the Rumi-inspired look was scrapped and Kapoor had gotten a haircut instead.


Kapoor revealed his experience with look tests for the film, expressing that it is a "tedious job: sticking, removing applying, de-applying, and applying again, until some decision is reached".
