The YRF Spyverse is gearing up for its next big action-packed thriller War 2. This highly anticipated sequel is directed by Ayan Mukerji and stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. The film is nearing the end of its shoot and is set to release in August 2025.
Abbas Tyrewala Confirms War 2 Shoot Is Almost Complete
In a recent interview, dialogue writer Abbas Tyrewala shared fresh updates on the film’s progress. He confirmed that the shoot is almost wrapped up and revealed that the film is likely to hit cinemas on 25 August.
Speaking to Lallantop, he said, “War 2 ka shoot lagbhag khatam ho chuka hai. Woh mere khyal se August 25 ko aa rahi hai. Usmein Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr dekhne ko milenge. War 2 ke dialogues maine kiye hai.”
With Jr NTR making his big Bollywood debut, War 2 promises a thrilling addition to the YRF Spyverse (which already includes Tiger 3 and Pathaan). Hrithik reprises his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, while Kiara Advani adds to the intrigue of the sequel.
War 2 Shoot Delays Impact Jr NTR’s Next Film?
While excitement for War 2 is high, recent reports suggested that production has taken longer than expected. Jr NTR was initially scheduled to wrap up his portions and move on to his next project with director Prashanth Neel.
However, War 2’s prolonged schedule reportedly caused delays in the filming of his next (tentatively titled Dragon). The film is expected to begin its first schedule in March and last for around 10 days.

Abbas Tyrewala also spilled details about Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming action film King. “Abhi shuru ho rahi hai ek film Siddharth Anand ki King Shah Rukh Khan ke production ki. Voh aur Suhana usmein ek saath nazar aayenge,” he shared.

Set to begin filming in March, King will feature SRK as a powerful don who mentors Suhana Khan’s character before facing a deadly adversary, played by Abhishek Bachchan. Munjya fame Abhay Verma is also on board, while the search is still on for the female lead.
With high-speed chases, intense action sequences, and cutting-edge VFX, King aims to push the boundaries of Bollywood action films.
Meanwhile, Pathaan 2 is reportedly in development. While details remain under wraps, Abbas hinted that the spy thriller might be taking shape soon. Considering the massive success of Pathaan in 2023, fans are eager to see Shah Rukh Khan back in action as the beloved super-spy.
