Director Ayan Mukerji is playing a “big tease” with his fans. Just days after his big-budget action film War 2 was released on OTT, the filmmaker has taken off for a trek in the mountains. He shared a few pictures from his adventurous hike, which involved snowy paths and even some writing sessions.
But these aren’t just any holiday photos. The pictures have sent fans into a frenzy, starting a huge guessing game about what his next project could be. The comments section of his post is now flooded with demands, and two films, in particular, are on everyone’s mind: a sequel to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani or Brahmastra 2.
The ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ Vibe
For many fans, the new pictures were a direct throwback to Ayan’s 2013 blockbuster, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The very first photo showed Ayan holding a trekking pole and hiking in the snow, which instantly reminded everyone of the famous Manali trek scenes with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in the film.
Since YJHD completed almost 12 years, fans have been demanding a sequel. This post gave them fresh hope. The comments were full of fans asking Ayan if he was finally writing YJHD 2 and if this was his way of scouting locations for Bunny and Naina’s next adventure.
Or Is It Time For ‘Brahmastra 2’?
While the YJHD gang was excited, another group of fans was convinced the pictures were a hint about Brahmastra 2. The epic, snowy mountain setting also fits perfectly with the world of Brahmastra, especially the Himalayas, which are central to the story.
These fans believe Ayan is on a writing retreat to focus on the next part of his Astraverse. The original film starred Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. The much-awaited sequel, Brahmastra: Part 2, is expected to tell the story of Dev and Amrita, with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone rumored to be playing the lead roles.
What About ‘War 2’?
This mountain trip comes right after the OTT release of Ayan Mukerji’s War 2. The film, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in his Hindi debut, started streaming on Netflix recently. It was Ayan’s first time directing a film for the YRF Spy Universe, but it received “mixed reactions” from audiences after its release.
Ayan has not officially announced what his next film will be. It is unclear if he will continue to be a part of the Spy Universe or if he will now return to his own passion project, the Astraverse. For now, he seems to be enjoying the mountains and letting his fans have fun with the guessing game.
