Back to Brahmastra - Ayan Mukherji in an earlier interview to news agency PTI said that for the film Ranbir Kapoor will have to train thoroughly in gymnastics and martial arts. "There is lot of action in the film, so there is lot of training, like gymnastics kind of training, horse-riding, fighting and lot of physical stuff that Ranbir will have to do," he said. Of the film, Ayan said: "In its (Brahmastra) core it has romance as an element but it has got a new flavour to it. With every film I am trying to evolve and grow."
