In the clip titled ‘Happy birthday, Isha’, there are moments from the movie showcasing Alia Bhatt in different moods and situations. The first in a mythology-based trilogy, it is also subtitled Part One: Shiva. It’s Alia’s real-life boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor who plays Shiva in the film.

For the unversed, the film has been in the making for the last seven years. It is on the sets of Brahmastra that Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s romance reportedly began. The couple is soon to tie the knot.

As the teaser begins, we see Alia and Ranbir as Isha and Shiva, respectively, embracing each other. The scene then moves to show different avatars of Isha.

While Ranbir is not on social media, film director Ayan posted the clip introducing Isha from his magnum opus. He wrote, "Happy birthday, Little One. For all the joy, the pride, the inspiration and the magic that you make me feel...here's something to celebrate you on your special day. Our Isha, the Shakti of Brahmastra, in the first visuals we are releasing from our movie. Love. Light. Fire. Go!"
