The two leading production houses of Bollywood, Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Dharma Productions, are set to lock horns for the first time ever at the box office. YRF’s much-awaited spy thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, will clash with Dharma Productions’ untitled patriotic film, featuring Kartik Aaryan on Independence Day 2025.
Kartik announced Dharma film after a long Cold War with Karan Johar
Kartik Aaryan announced on his birthday, November 22, that he had bagged a role in Karan Johar’s next film after a long Cold War between the two. The film, which is expected to be a grand spectacle, is slated to hit the theatres on Independence Day 2025. However, a week later, on November 29, it was reported that War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, will also release on the same date.
About Hrithik Starrer War 2 and Kartik Aaryan Starrer untitled film
War 2, which is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, will be directed by Ayan Mukerji, who is also helming the fantasy trilogy Brahmāstra for Dharma Productions. The film will mark the Bollywood debut of Telugu superstar Jr NTR, who will play the antagonist opposite Hrithik Roshan’s protagonist. The film is expected to be a high-octane action spectacle, with stunning visuals and stunts. War 2 is part of YRF’s ambitious Spy Universe, which also includes the Tiger and Pathaan franchises.
On the other hand, Dharma Productions’ untitled film, will be directed by Sandeep Modi. The film is said to be an unforgettable chapter of our glorious Indian history full of valour and sacrifice.
YRF and Dharma to clash at box office for the first time
Both the films are slated to release on Independence Day 2025. The clash also marks the first time that YRF and Dharma Productions, two of the most influential and successful banners in Bollywood, will compete with each other. Both the production houses have a long history of collaboration and friendship, as YRF’s founder Yash Chopra was the uncle of Dharma Productions’ head Karan Johar. Yash Chopra’s son Aditya Chopra, who is the current chairman and managing director of YRF, is also considered as one of the mentors of Karan Johar, who started his career as an assistant director on YRF’s Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Karan Johar has always praised Aditya Chopra and his family in many interviews. And as expected, they have always avoided releasing their films on the same day, probably to not affect each other’s business.
Both the films are also expected to be patriotic films, also both are big-budget and high-profile projects, with a lot of expectations and hype surrounding them. Therefore, it will be interesting to see who will wink first and if they don’t then how the clash will pan out and who will emerge victorious in this epic battle of the titans.
