Issue legal notice to your brother and demand partition of your father's property as per will.If notice not complied with by your brother then file partition suit.property can not be sold without partition.

First, you shall get a mutation of the property in your name and your brother's name. For this, both of you shall apply for the mutation before the authority concerned. As per the Will of your father both of you have equal rights. So after the mutation, you can sell your half share in the property. If your brother does not agree, then you have to file a partition suit in the court conerned.

Mutation do not affect your title/ share / ownership.
File a suit for partition, possession, permanent injunction and mesne profits against your brother.

Mutation is the suo motu duty of the revenue officer when the information on the death of a property owner reaches him, as per Kerala registry transfer rules. Your state may have similar rules. So apply to the revenue officer with death certificate and other details.
You can sell your rights to the share in the undivided property as is now, if anyone has interest in purchasing it.
On the other hand you can file a partition suit, get its decree and sell your part of the property to anyone.
These are the three options you can consider.
