Mukerji's film also has a pan-Indian cast, featuring prominent actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Mouni Roy, and Shah Rukh Khan who has a cameo in the film.

Ranbir-Alia starrer Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is also expected to overtake Kartik Aryan's hit horror-comedy of the year, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which garnered a collection of Rs 221 crore at the Indian box office. In the coming days, Mukerji's film can emerge as the second-biggest film of the year, behind only the controversial The Kashmir Films, which collected nearly Rs 300 crore at the Indian box office, as per a report by the Indian Express.
