Description

War 2, the next big chapter in the YRF Spy Universe, is set to hit theatres worldwide on 14 August 2025. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, with a screenplay by Shridhar Raghavan and dialogues by Abbas Tyrewala, the movie continues the high-octane action legacy of its predecessor. The film stars Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, alongside N. T. Rama Rao Jr. in his much-awaited Hindi debut, and Kiara Advani as the female lead. Shot across multiple countries, the ₹400 crore production is backed by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, with music by Pritam and background score by Sanchit and Ankit Balhara. Cinematography is handled by Benjamin Jasper, while Aarif Sheikh takes charge of editing. War 2 is expected to surpass the global success of War (2019), which starred Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. With an upgraded budget, expanded cast, and international filming locations, the sequel aims for a record-breaking box office performance. The movie will release in premium formats like Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and 4DX, and is expected to be a milestone in Bollywood’s action cinema.
