War 2: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR Gear Up for YRF’s Explosive Spy Thriller

Bollywood’s spy action universe is set to get bigger, bolder, and more explosive as Yash Raj Films (YRF) prepares to release War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, on August 14, 2025. Building on the legacy of YRF’s blockbuster spy thrillers like War (2019), Pathaan, and Tiger Zinda Hai, the sequel brings together two powerhouse performers in one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the year.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 continues the legacy of action-packed storytelling with a fresh twist and a compelling face-off. Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as the suave and skilled agent Kabir, while South superstar Jr NTR joins the YRF Spy Universe in a powerful new role. The pairing of these two stars has already created massive buzz across the nation, promising intense action sequences, high-voltage drama, and a gripping storyline with global stakes.

The film is strategically scheduled for release on the Independence Day weekend, enhancing its patriotic appeal and expected box-office impact. Set against a backdrop of espionage, betrayal, and covert warfare, War 2 explores the tension between national security and personal vendettas. It also marks Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut in the action-thriller genre, adding a new dimension to his already successful career in Telugu cinema.

YRF’s decision to continue expanding its interconnected Spy Universe reflects its vision of building a homegrown cinematic franchise on par with global standards. With each film, the universe grows in scale, complexity, and star power — and War 2 is no exception.

Early teasers and stills showcase intense combat, aerial warfare, and a deeper emotional core, indicating that War 2 will be more than just a visual spectacle — it will be a character-driven thriller that resonates with audiences across demographic

As the countdown begins, fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting this massive release, which is expected to break records and set new benchmarks for Indian action cinema.

War 2 releases in theatres worldwide on August 14, 2025.
