In a shocking turn of events, the mega pre-release event of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's 'Brahmastra' in Hyderabad's Film City has been cancelled. The fan event was scheduled to take place from 7:00 pm onwards on Friday. However, the organisers decided to cancel the event at the last moment due to "unforeseen circumstances."

As per a source, the organisers did not get the police's approval. Also, apparently, a political rally planned in the city may also be a reason for the police personnel being stretched. Apart from the film's cast, Telugu stalwarts SS Rajamouli and Jr NTR were also expected to grace the event.
