War 2: Ayan Mukerji's Action Thriller Set to Release
With its highly anticipated face-off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR, War 2 is set to take the Indian film industry by storm, offering a unique blend of action, suspense, and drama that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
Ayan Mukerji, director of Brahmastra, is set to helm the upcoming action thriller War 2, which promises to be a large-scale, pan-India cinematic experience, pitting Hrithik Roshan and NTR against each other in a highly anticipated face-off. The film, produced by Aditya Chopra, marks the sixth installment in the YRF spy universe and unites the two actors on screen for the first time.
Mukerji aimed to craft a storyline that would elevate the action set pieces and conflict to mount the face-off between the two stars, creating a "coming together of Indian cinema" with every detail spent on crafting an experience of a lifetime for the audience. The director reveals that crafting the face-off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR took the longest to craft, and he immersed himself in delivering a feeling that would leave fans of the film and the superstars hungry for more.
The film's costume designer, Anaita Shroff Adajania, has created a new look for Hrithik Roshan's character, Kabir, which is a blend of real and god-like. Adajania aimed to explore a deeper, darker mood in Kabir, with a focus on thinner fabrics and a more lived-in look, building on what worked in War, including Roshan's transformative haircut and magnetic presence.
War 2 is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on August 14, 2025, and will be available in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages, promising to be an unforgettable cinematic experience for fans of Indian cinema.
