The promotional event of Brahmastra, held at a five-star hotel in Hyderabad, was highly memorable. Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Mouni Roy, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Karan Johar, S S Rajamouli and others were present with RRR actor Jr NTR being the chief guest.

Lead actress Alia Bhatt is pregnant and Karan remarked, "It feels like Alia is delivering two babies this year!" A pleasant surprise at the event was that Alia Bhatt was looking cute in a pink traditional wear. She turned her back to the audience and showed that her dress mentioned, "Baby on board."

Alia Bhatt was then given the microphone and she asked media to clap for director Ayan Mukerji. Ranbir Kapoor, at this point, joked that since everyone is remembering Ayan, he must be having hiccups back in Mumbai. Alia said, "Ayan must be really hiccup-ing since the last one hour!" She laughed in her trademark style and then talked about Jr NTR.

She said, "All of you love Tarak, of course. He's a mega star. But today, coming out and supporting Brahmastra, proves that he has a mega heart!"

Alia Bhatt then won hearts as she sang the Telugu version of Brahmastra's super-hit song, 'Kesariya', to which, Ranbir Kapoor was seen smiling ear-to-ear.

Filmmaker and producer of the film Karan Johar also spoke at the event, and praised all present on stage. He first praised Mouni Roy, who plays the antagonist in the film. Mouni shared how much she enjoyed working on this film. She thanked Karan Johar. Johar then remembered Amitabh Bachchan, who plays a supporting role in Brahmastra, "We were blessed to have Mr Amitabh Bachchan lead our cast. Ayan said that actors in every other role was replaceable. But there was one role that was not - the role of the Guru."

He then revealed, "I learnt some Telugu lines for this event. I took tuitions." Alia chipped in, "He took three days (to learn)." At this, Ranbir replied, "Don't say that. If I goof up, people would be like, 'teen din mein yeh seekha isne!"

Karan Johar revealed, "Ranbir was feeling very shy to say it. But then Rajamouli ordered him to say it!"

Ranbir Kapoor then added, "Please don't mind if I make a mistake." He finally gave his speech and he passed out with flying colours. S S Rajamouli hugged Ranbir while Alia gave him a flying kiss.

The audience and media meanwhile clapped and hooted, especially the ones from Hyderabad. After all, the way both Alia and Ranbir sang and spoke in chaste Telugu without a teleprompter was praiseworthy.

Ranbir Kapoor continued, "I was very young when somebody sent me an autograph of my grandfather, Mr Raj Kapoor. It had a quote from him, and I have framed it at my bedside. It says, ‘Humility is an artist's greatest virtue’. And we have seen this in the three great artists who have been a strong support to our vision - S S Rajamouli, Nagarjuna and Tarak (Jr. NTR.)"

Finally, Ranbir Kapoor addressed all those who intend to watch Brahmastra, "It is a great 3D watch. So, if its playing in a 3D version near you, do watch. We have managed some world class effects thanks to Namit Malhotra."
