Ranbir Kapoor has admitted that his role of Shiva in the mythological adventure film ‘Brahmastra’ was very complex to put into action and it took a lot for him to give a definite shape to the character.
With the film scheduled to drop on Ott after its successful theatrical run, Ranbir said in a statement: “Shiva was a very complex character on paper. And we had to do a lot of prep to bring him to life. The way he walks, runs, fights, dances – almost every aspect of his physicality that involves movement- had to be designed.”
He further spoke about practising the Ido Portal Method, a form of a physical fitness practice utilising the practitioner’s own bodyweight and movements, rather than external weights and machines, to develop strength, agility and flexibility.
Ranbir explained: “Shiva’s relationship with fire needed to be graphed – both emotionally and physically. I trained...

Boy meets girl. Girl falls for boy. Boy discovers he’s got a hazardous superpower and is called away to save the world from a burgeoning evil. This isn’t the usual formula for a romantic comedy, nor is it typical for Indian cinema, which roots itself in ancient mysticism and mythology. Yet that’s what makes writer-director Ayan Mukerji’s sprawling epic “Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva” special and innovative. He smashes up genre conventions as Western cinematic influences readily comingle with pure Bollywood razzle-dazzle. And though the story is occasionally overcomplicated and the spectacle excites and exhausts in equal measure (as even Marvel movies do), it’s a wildly entertaining jump start to a planned trilogy – touted as Bollywood’s first original cinematic universe, the “Astraverse.”
The journey begins with the legend of the Astras, or “weapons of the Light.” They derive from elements in the natural world. These...
