Director Ayan Mukerji is ready to deliver War 2, the latest addition to YRF’s spy universe, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in lead roles. Packed with action, drama, and suspense, the film promises an intense cinematic experience.
Taking over a successful franchise like War is no easy task, and Ayan acknowledges the weight it carries. It’s a big responsibility to continue something so beloved, but also a great opportunity to add my touch, he said.
Ayan’s main goal is to craft a powerful story that highlights both stars equally. He described the journey as deeply engaging and revealed he’s spent a lot of time ensuring the action and emotional moments connect with the audience.
The film features Jr NTR as the antagonist, marking his Bollywood debut, and pits him against Hrithik’s Agent Kabir in a gripping showdown. Kiara Advani plays the female lead, while Pritam scores the music.
War 2 is set to hit theatres on August 14, just ahead of Independence Day, and will compete at the box office with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, making it one of the most anticipated clashes of 2025.
