The casting buzz around Brahmastra 2 has picked up again, with reports suggesting that Saiyaara actor Aneet Padda is in talks for a key role in Ayan Mukerji's upcoming sequel.
According to Filmfare, discussions between Padda and the makers are underway, although no casting deal has been finalised yet. If she comes on board, she could share screen space with Ranbir Kapoor, who is expected to return as Shiva.

Deepika Padukone's Brahmastra 2 Link Denied
The latest casting buzz comes shortly after Deepika Padukone's team denied reports that she would be part of Brahmastra 2.
Deepika's brief appearance in Brahmastra: Part One- Shiva had sparked speculation that her character could have a bigger role in the sequel. Her spokesperson has now dismissed those reports, saying claims that the actress is associated with the film are untrue.
Aneet Padda's Career On The Rise
Padda has been getting plenty of attention since Saiyaara, where she starred opposite Ahaan Panday in Mohit Suri's film. The film marked a major breakthrough for the actor.
She is also set to headline Shakti Shalini, part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. The film has completed filming, with Padda reportedly playing a double role.
With Padda now reportedly in talks for Brahmastra 2 and Deepika's team ruling out her involvement, the sequel's casting continues to keep fans guessing.
