A short clip shows an artefact floating in space until it combines with the other broken parts and forms the unique logo of the film with the title written over it. The already fascinating visuals are complemented with the powerful voice-over of Amitabh Bachchan who introduces the logo to Ranbir Kapoor and Alia.
In the video, the trio can be heard talking about a mysterious weapon as the Brahmastra logo takes form.
The voice-over in the background tries to hint at the story of ‘Brahmastra’. An intrigued Ranbir asks, "Sir, is there a weapon that’s in pieces but when joined, it’s circle and has a symbol on it?”

Big B’s character says, “Yes, our pride, our history’s greatest treasure that contains the power of the whole universe within it.”
Then Alia’s character Isha asks, “What is this weapon?” and Big B responds, “The Lord of all weapons-Brahmastra.”
Ranbir’s character Shiva asks, Why do I keep seeing it,” and to this Big B’s character says, “Because you are connected to the last battle of Brahmastra, Shiva.”
According to legends, Brahmastra is Hindu God Brahma’s weapon that is so strong that it can destroy the universe.
On Monday, the makers and the cast of the film gave its fans a glimpse of the film’s logo in the sky at the concluding day of Kumbh Mela. This is the first time ever where the makers of a film have involved drones and announced the logo on such a huge scale on the auspicious day of Mahashivratri.
