The Ayan Mukerji directorial, which revolves around the most powerful weapon, features Ranbir as Shiva, a guy-nextdoor who can emit fire from his hands, and Alia as his love interest, Isha. Buzz is, Amitabh Bachchan plays Shiva’s guru in the film.

“An important event leads Shiva and Isha to Nagarjuna,” the source informed, adding that the story unfolds in the ancient temple city before moving to the Himalayas. The film’s antagonists, Mouni Roy and Saurav Gurjar, also come into play because of Nagarjuna’s track. “The adventure kicks-off after all of them come face-to-face in Varanasi. A high-octane action sequence featuring them was shot earlier in the year,” the source concluded.
