Hrithik Roshan, we can now reveal, is the top contender to play Dev , the protagonist in Ayan Mukerji’s sequel to Brahmastra Shiva:Part 1.

Hrithik, from what one hears, is “super-kicked” by the idea of playing another super-hero. But there is just one hitch: there is some clash of interest with his own super-hero Krrish franchise

A well-informed source reveals, “Hrithik was , and is the first choice to play Dev in Brahmastra 2. But his own home production Krrish is getting ready for a fourth instalment. So far Hrithik’s father(producer-director) Rakesh Roshan has not been able to crack the plot for Krrish 4. But he is on the verge of it. And if Krrish 4 goes on the floors anytime in the next six months.Hrithik wouldn’t like to do another super-hero film with another production house.”

This is where the casting of Brahmastra 2 stands. While Hrithik waits to take a call, we hear Ranveer Singh is waiting impatiently in the sidelines to take over the role if Hrithik opts out.
