Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor, who was in Bulgaria, shared some pictures from Alia's birthday celebrations.

However, in an interview to a leading daily, Alia broke her silence on dating Ranbir.The actress said, "Even I get really confused when I read such things, but I strongly believe that 'silence is golden'. It's not as if I'm never going to have a personal life. I will and I do have one, but I feel its called 'personal' for a reason. That's why it will always stay close to me." 

As per reports, Brahmastra is being shot on a budget that exceeds Rs 150 crore.

Recently, filmmaker Ayan Mukherji said in an event, "It's the biggest project of my life. All my hopes are pinned on this film. I hope it becomes the biggest success... I am very excited about the cast but I hope the film gets even bigger than the cast." 

Apart from Alia and Ranbir, Brahmastra also features Amitabh Bachchan in a pivotal role and has been produced under the banner of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. It is scheduled to release on August 15, 2018.
