There are many firsts attached to Ayan Mukerjee’s Brahmastra. It is Bollywood’s first lavish sci-fi film. It brings the real-life couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt together for the first time also brings Ranbir and the mighty Amitabh Bachchan together for the first time. For long now, Mr Bachchan has expressed a desire to work with Ranbir.

Now another first to be added to Brahmastra is Shah Rukh Khan who will face the camera with Ranbir Kapoor for the first time.

Says a source in the know, “Shah Rukh has worked with Amitji in several films and with Ali Bhatt in Dear Zindagi. But he has never worked with Ranbir before. They did have a brief moment together in Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. But in Brahmastra a special sequence where they come face-to-face has been conceived. It is going to be a monumental confrontation.”
