With "Pathaan" and "Tiger 3" roaring to success, Yash Raj Films has been quick to divert all the attention to their next project-War 2. As a production house, this movie is an endeavor towards taking their spy universe to incredible levels. The sequel brings back Hrithik Roshan in the role of Major Kabir Dhaliwal as he gets ready to undertake a dangerous operation deep in the underworld to tackle a new threat to his country.
YRF’s spy universe debuted with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s “Ek Tha Tiger” in 2012, and has since burgeoned significantly over the past decade. Packed with adrenaline-pumping action sequences, intrigue, and suspense, “War 2” is poised to surpass its predecessor in scale and spectacle. Below, discover all the essential details regarding the eagerly anticipated sequel.
The 2019 blockbuster "War" involves Major Kabir Dhaliwal, who goes rogue after a botched attempt to capture a terrorist and directs his anger against high-ranking officials involved in selling classified intelligence to the enemy. He, however, gets an unexpected opponent in his protégé Khalid, played by Tiger Shroff, who has to stop Kabir from his rampage. What unfolds is a riveting saga of twists and adrenaline-fueled action, captivating audiences from start to finish. Continuing the saga in YRF's spy universe, "War 2" delves deeper into the exploits of Hrithik Roshan's mysterious character, Major Kabir Dhaliwal as he goes off on a fresh mission. He is being supported by renowned director Ayan Mukerji instead of Siddharth Anand, who directed the film for the first time. Meanwhile, the sequel will introduce Jr. NTR, a big Telugu film star, in a very important role, which is going to be his much-awaited Hindi film debut. Kiara Advani joins the YRF Spy Universe as well, under the direction of Ayan Mukerji.
Hrithik Roshan has reportedly started shooting for the film and is likely to finish filming it by June 2024. Jr. NTR has apparently been given about 60 days for his part in the YRF film, as per the same report. While the first installment of Roshan's spy thriller series had a budget of Rs 170 crore, War 2 is expected to have a budget of around Rs 200 crore, as per another report in the Times of India.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani in leading roles and will hit theaters in August 2025. As per a report by News18, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are also rumored to make appearances in War 2. More importantly, according to reports, the YRF team is reportedly planning to place the character Tiger at strategic junctures in the spy universe.
