Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the sequel is a follow-up to the 2019 action blockbuster War and is expected to expand the interconnected YRF Spy Universe further. War 2 brings together two major stars from different industries — Hrithik Roshan from Bollywood and NTR from Telugu cinema — making it a true pan-India project. The film is scheduled to release on August 14, 2025, and will be available in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.

While official details remain under wraps, insiders suggest the film will continue the high-octane, globe-trotting espionage theme seen in previous YRF Spy Universe films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. With five consecutive hits under its belt, the franchise has become a reliable crowd-puller across languages.

The addition of NTR, in his big Bollywood debut, especially after the global success of RRR, is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the story.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, who previously helmed Brahmastra, the sequel is one of YRF’s most closely guarded projects. While YRF has not officially confirmed what will be unveiled on May 20, Hrithik’s post strongly hints at a significant promotional drop linked to NTR’s character in War 2. With the film’s release just a few months away, the countdown to what’s in store has clearly begun.
