Bulgaria, Europe
The first Brahmastra movie was filmed in the picturesque Balkan nation of Bulgaria in February and March 2018. Large chunks of the movie were shot against the breathtaking Bulgarian mountains. Boyana Church and Vrana Palace are well-known landmarks in Sofia, the country's capital. Seeing many of the city's modern museums, galleries, parks, and old churches is worthwhile.

Edinburgh, Scotland
Many stunning locations in Edinburgh served as the backdrop for a sizable movie section. The capital of Scotland is home to fascinating castles, lovely gardens, and a wealth of untouched natural beauty.

New York, USA
NYC is famous for its magnificent skyline. Your list of New York attractions must include the Empire State Building, Times Square, and the Statue of Liberty.

Varanasi, India
One of the oldest cities in the world and the centre of serenity and spiritual advice for travellers is Varanasi, which is located in Uttar Pradesh. The Ramnagar Fort and Chet Singh Fort, adjacent to Varanasi, were used as the locations during a 20-day schedule for the film. The city's winding lanes and ghats were extensively used for filming Kesariya, the most well-known song from the film.
