Brahmastra actor Alia Bhatt in awe of Kamal Haasan's Vikram and Vijay's Master

During the Brahmastra press conference in Chennai, Alia Bhatt in a video byte, spoke highly of director Lokesh Kanagaraj's latest movies.

The Bollywood actor, further, said Tamil Nadu people are extremely friendly and welcoming. "I've been watching a lot of Tamil content, and I quite liked Master and Vikram, which has recently become popular here."

Alia Bhatt went on to say how proud she is to be an Indian actor and Brahmastra was a labour of love for Indian cinema. The producers were in Chennai on Wednesday to promote the film ahead of its release. Presenters SS Rajamouli, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Ranbir Kapoor attended the event.

Brahmastra stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, with Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Dimple Kapadia and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. Billed as a trilogy, this one, marks the start of The Astraverse, India's first original movie universe.

The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer was first announced in 2014, but it has been delayed several times. It is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Namit Malhotra, and Rani Mukerji through their companies Dharma Productions, Prime Focus, and Starlight Pictures, in collaboration with Star Studios.

Brahmastra: Part One has gained even more attention as the lead actors Ranbir and Alia met while filming and married earlier this year.

It is described as a "new original cinematic universe inspired by deeply rooted concepts and tales from Indian history but set in the modern world, with epic storytelling of fantasy, adventure, good vs evil, love and hope; all told using cutting edge technology and never-seen-before visual spectacles.”

The official synopsis states that Brahmastra: Part One, is the story of Shiva, a young man and the protagonist, who is on the brink of epic love, with a girl named Isha. But their world is turned upside down because Shiva learns that he has a mysterious connection to the Brahmastra... and a great power within him that he doesn’t understand just yet: the power of fire. In this movie, we follow Shiva’s adventures as he journeys into the world of Astras and in turn, discovers his destiny as the divine hero of the universe.

Brahmastra Part One: Shiva will hit the big screens on September 9.
