In his response, the director explained how Brahmastra being “a much larger vision” than his previous two films has not allowed him to take a break. Ayan also revealed that he reworked the film for its OTT release.

He further added, “I actually went back to the edit, and I added a few nips and tucks. So, our team has actually been working up till this point. So really, my holiday will begin now I'm hoping, after the streaming release of the.”
