Film director Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra is one of the most-anticipated movies of this year. After so much delay and postponements, the film is finally releasing in theatres on September 9. It stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy among others. Today, on June 9, the makers of the film unveiled Amitabh Bachchan’s first look from the film and introduced his character as ‘Guru.’

Film critic and movie trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and unveiled the motion poster of the film that sees Big B in a stunning avatar.

As we take a close look at the poster, we see the actor in a powerful avatar as he is ready to fight, with the sword of light as the weapon. With wounds on his face, Big B seems to be determined to ward off the enemy as he has intense emotions on his face.
