The Ayan Mukerji directed film focuses on DJ Shiva (Ranbir Kapoor), who discovers that there are supernatural factors in play, dictating his life. He discovers the existence of astras, Brahmansh or individuals who wield these astras, and the Brahmastra, the most powerful of the astras, and the battle to control the Brahmastra. The film revolves around Shiva's realisation of his role in this grand scheme. It also features Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy in significant roles.
