Back then in 2013 the understanding was that Brahmos 2 will have Russian engine (the one on Zircon missile). However, now that HSDTV scramjet has been tested successfully by DRDO (it will take another 4-5 years to be matured to be put in a missile), the current plan (as revealed in the Shiv Aroor interview) is Brahmos 2 will fly using indigenous engine.And they had shown Brahmos-2 hypersonic variant scale model in 2013 Defexpo. Seven years have passed and still Dr Mishra is saying that it will take another 2-3 years for a high supersonic Brahmos and 4-6 years for a hypersonic variant .
