After facing criticism and trolling for the dialogues in Part 1: Shiva of Brahmastra, Ayan Mukerji has vowed to have "better dialogues" in Part 2: Dev. Many Brahmastra fans commented on social media that the speech in the mythological movie, which was in both Hindi and English, seemed odd. Others poked fun of Alia Bhatt's character Isha for repeatedly using Shiva's name throughout the movie.

He told Sony Music India, "Look at Baahubali, 2 years pass just like that. We have a very big country, I think it will take six months just for everybody to see Brahmastra. It would have been amazing if we could have given you Brahmastra 2 next year. I would have loved it, it would have been great for me."

Ayan added, "But making Brahmastra 1 in India; it is a fully 'Made In India' product, it was very challenging. So now to make Part 2 even happen in 2-3 years is also a very very big challenge. Making it at the same quality with better dialogues (laughs) and more juicy storytelling, it is a very very big challenge."

In an earlier press conference, Ayan had stated that because the lead characters Shiva and Isha are "modern contemporary characters," he and dialogue writer Hussain Dalal, who also co-wrote the dialogue for his most recent movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, had written these kinds of lines for Brahmastra. While Alia plays his girlfriend Isha, Ranbir Kapoor portrays Shiva, a DJ.

Ayan further admitted that since it is a personal habit of his, it was he who forced Alia's Isha to repeat Shiva's name. He said to NDTV, "When I talk, I keep taking people's names a lot, this is my habit. So that stayed in the script and came in the film as well."

Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva hit the theatres on September 9. In addition to Shah Rukh Khan and Mouni Roy, it also starred Amitabh Bachchan and Nagarjuna.
