The countdown is officially on for War 2! With just 12 weeks left until its August 14 release, director Ayan Mukerji has given fans a thrilling peek behind the scenes, building even more hype for what promises to be a blockbuster.
Mukerji’s heartfelt Instagram post not only shares BTS snapshots featuring the star power of Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani but also reveals his deep connection to the story. He emphasizes that while War 2 packs the expected high-octane action and spectacle, at its heart lies a “powerful and dramatic story,” promising something fresh and emotionally engaging within the spy thriller genre.
His praise for the cast is especially touching—Kiara Advani is described as a “ray of sunshine,” bringing warmth and energy, while Hrithik and Jr NTR are hailed as “giants” whose performances bring depth beyond the typical action hero roles. That combination of charisma and intensity from the leads definitely raises expectations.
Ayan’s shoutout to Aditya Chopra highlights the significance of this project within the Yash Raj Films Spy Universe, marking War 2 as not just a sequel but the sixth chapter in a much larger cinematic world. The teaser’s reception already shows the excitement and anticipation it’s generating, especially with the film’s multi-star ensemble and cutting-edge visuals.
Releasing on August 14, 2025—just before Mukerji’s birthday—this film is shaping up to be a major highlight of the year.
