Fans of the YRF Spy Universe will have to wait a little longer to witness the epic clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in War 2. The film, which was earlier slated to release in January 2025, has been postponed to August 14, 2025.
War 2 is the sixth installment of the shared universe and the sequel to War, which featured Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, a rogue RAW agent, and Tiger Shroff as Khalid, his former protégé. The film ended with a cliffhanger, hinting at a new enemy for Kabir. And that enemy is none other than Jr NTR, who will play a ruthless villain in War 2.
War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukerji, who is known for his films like Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Brahmastra. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. The film also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead. The film is expected to be a high-octane action thriller, with breathtaking stunts and spectacular visuals.
War 2 is part of the YRF Spy Universe, which also includes the Tiger franchise, starring Salman Khan as Tiger, and Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan as Pathaan. The universe was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters from these films. The films are connected by the common thread of RAW, the Indian intelligence agency, and its agents.
The YRF Spy Universe is one of the most ambitious and successful cinematic ventures in Indian cinema, with a total of seven films planned so far. The films have been praised for their action, entertainment, and star power. The films have also been huge box office hits.
The seventh film of the universe, Tiger vs Pathaan, is expected to release by the end of 2025. The film will feature a crossover between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, who will reprise their roles as Tiger and Pathaan, respectively. The film will also have Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, Deepika Padukone as Alia, and Katrina Kaif as Zoya. The film will be directed by Siddharth Anand, who helmed War and Pathaan.
War 2 is one of the most anticipated films of 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR face off on the big screen. The film is expected to be a visual spectacle, with stunning locations, exotic costumes, and mind-blowing action sequences. The film will also have a gripping storyline, with twists and turns that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR To Start War 2 Shoot In February 2024; 2nd schedule To Begin In December 2023 With Stunt Doubles
With Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR starring in War 2, the excitement is on another level with two superstars coming together to face off each other in YRF Spy Universe. Hrithik’s cameo in Tiger 3 also added to the excitement, which is being helmed by Ayan Mukerji. While the first schedule was wrapped in Spain in October 2023 with stunt doubles, the second schedule will likely be shot the same way in Abu Dhabi. Hrithik and Jr. NTR will begin their shoots in February 2024.
As per a report in Mid-Day, a source said, “NTR Jr is currently shooting for his 30th film, directed by Koratala Siva, and will then begin his first schedule for War 2. Aditya Chopra and Ayan have planned a massive action entry shot for him in the film. Shooting for the portions involving Hrithik and him will commence in February in Mumbai over a month-long schedule. The dramatic portions will be canned first, and will be followed with action sequences.”
The source added, “Like he did for the Spain leg, he is likely to use stunt doubles for the actors in Abu Dhabi too for the scenes that are to be filmed in the absence of the main cast members. Ayan shot high-octane car chase sequences in Spain over two weeks.”
Ayan Mukerji had completed the first schedule with stunt doubles. The source said, “It’s a new technique of shooting for feature films. The action blocks of a lot of films in today’s time are shot without the involvement of lead actors. Soon after, the faces of the body double are replaced using the body swap technology. The same was used for Pathaan as well for the action blocks shot in Dubai and Russia. Hrithik and NTR Jr. will start shooting for War only in December.”
The Spain schedule lasted for around 12 days, and Ayan was strict to get a perfect stunt double on board the film. “He auditioned over 50 talents each for both Hrithik and NTR Jr. before getting an ideal body type on board. The stunt double had multiple test shoots with Hrithik and NTR Jr. in Mumbai and Hyderabad before flying off to Spain,” the source added.
