War 2 Ending Explained: Jr NTR's Shocking Twist, Hrithik Roshan's Fate And Kiara Advani's Arc
Last Updated: War 2 ending reveals if Jr NTR is hero or villain, what happens to Hrithik Roshan's Kabir, and Kiara Advani's Kavya in Ayan Mukerji's spy thriller. Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani lead Ayan Mukerji's much-hyped War 2, which arrived in theatres on August 14, just before Independence Day. The film had fans wondering who would emerge as the hero, whether Jr NTR's character would stand by Kabir (Hrithik) or oppose him, and what role Kiara's Kavya would play in Kabir's turbulent journey. The ending has now answered these burning questions while setting the stage for the next chapter in the YRF Spy Universe. Spoilers Ahead For War 2 Kabir's Double Game And Vikram's Betrayal Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), once a celebrated RAW agent, has turned mercenary, working under a deadly syndicate called Kali. With his sword skills and unmatched precision, Kabir is feared as 'the man who doesn't miss." But beneath the surface, he is playing a dangerous double game—pretending loyalty to Kali while secretly infiltrating it to destroy the organisation from within. Parallelly, Wing Commander Kavya Luthra (Kiara Advani) is honoured for her valour, but tragedy strikes when Kabir shockingly kills her father, Colonel Karan Luthra (Ashutosh Rana), after being ordered to by Kali. The betrayal leaves Kavya shattered, even as RAW intensifies its hunt for Kali and Kabir's daughter, Ruhi, becomes a target. In a surprising twist, Anil Kapoor takes charge as the new War Chief, assigning Vikram (Jr NTR) to eliminate Kali. Kabir and Vikram cross paths, and after Kabir confesses his true agenda, the two form an unlikely partnership. Vikram even calls him 'partner," giving fans hope for a formidable duo against Kali. However, the tables turn when Vikram mercilessly slaughters a minister's family, revealing his allegiance to Kali. In a shocking betrayal, he pushes Kabir out of a plane during a mission. Yet, his cryptic gesture sparks Kabir's memory of his childhood friend Raghu—hinting that Vikram may not be a straightforward villain. A Broken Bond And The Final Showdown The film delves into Kabir and Raghu's painful past. As children, both were imprisoned after a theft, where they met Karan Luthra. Kabir was chosen for a military programme, while Raghu was rejected, breeding resentment. Over the years, Kabir rose in RAW under Karan's mentorship, while Raghu turned bitter. The bond that once defined them crumbled under the weight of ego, rejection, and diverging paths. Kavya, meanwhile, confessed her love to Kabir years ago, only to be rejected as he chose his mission over personal happiness. Their relationship resurfaces in War 2, when Kabir shares the truth about his past. This time, Kavya chooses to stand by him, believing in his redemption. The climax delivers high-stakes drama. While Kavya and her team foil Kali's attempt to assassinate the Prime Minister, Kabir faces Raghu in a brutal, emotionally charged duel. Old wounds resurface as the two unleash raw power and bitter dialogues, confronting betrayal, loyalty, and their fractured brotherhood. By the end, Kabir emerges alive, but his future remains uncertain. Vikram/Raghu's survival is left deliberately ambiguous, sparking speculation about his role in upcoming films. As for Kavya, her arc ends on a note of resilience, standing tall as both a soldier and a woman who chooses strength over heartbreak.

Sari trader pursuing acting dream duped out of 1.71cr
Surat: A starry-eyed sari trader from the city who thought he was pursuing his dream of becoming an actor was allegedly duped out of Rs 1.71 crore by four persons from Delhi, who convinced him to send them large sums of money to secure high-profile acting work for him — in a web series, a TV serial and a music video. The victim had first contacted the accused on seeing an advertisement for portfolio photography on Instagram. Over two years, they got him to send them money on various pretexts and even called the victim to Delhi and Mumbai for shoots to fortify the deception. Nearly three years after his first contact with them, when they did not get him any acting work and he had paid them an eye-watering Rs 1.71 crore, he filed a complaint for cheating with Althan police. Rahul Rathod, 32, owns a sari trading firm in Surat. In Oct 2022, he saw an advertisement on Instagram for the Delhi-based 'Dream Maker Studio', offering portfolio shooting. He provided his details and got a call from one Alka Thakur two days later, offering to shoot his portfolio and calling him to Delhi for the shoot. Rathod went to Dream Maker Studio where he met Alka Thakur Baroniya, Arman Khan alias Waqar Alam, Shiva Thakur alias Mohit and Vivek Rajput alias Rahul Roy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo They carried out a photoshoot on Oct 17, 2022 and charged Rathod Rs 5,000 for it. The FIR states that days later Alka called Rathod again and told him they were launching a web series for which he had been selected. They demanded Rs 22,000 as 'selection security' which Rathod paid. The next day, Alka told Rathod that as he was 'a fresher' he would have to pay Rs 1 lakh more as 'security', which he did. On another call days she said he was picked for a music video and got him to transfer Rs 8 lakh. Rathod sent the money over several transactions in Oct and Dec 2022. Alka later told Rathod they wanted to launch him on 'a big platform through a reality show' and asked for Rs 15 lakh. Rathod transferred the money by RTGS and other modes. Rahul Roy later told Rathod that he would get a lead role in a serial on the Colors channel, which would pay him Rs 90,000 to Rs 95,000 per day for a year. Roy asked him to pay Rs 70 lakh for the lead role — ostensibly to cover his expenses in Mumbai for a year. Rathod transferred the money to Arman Khan and Shiva Thakur, as instructed by Roy and Alka Thakur. Another shoot was later conducted in Delhi. Roy told Rathod he should not tell the Colors channel officials that he was married. Days later, Roy called Rathod saying the channel officials had discovered Rathod was married and had fined Alka Rs 3 crore. Alka told Rathod that she would pay Rs 2.5 crore, but Rathod had to pay her the remaining Rs 50 lakh. Rathod sent the money in two transactions through the Surat angadia firm S Babulal. The accused promised the victim various roles beside actors and influencers such as Dipak Joshi, Akruti Agrawal and Sumbul Tokir, among others. Over two years, they took Rs 1.71 crore from Rathod. BOX Victim took all types of loans As the victim dreamed of becoming an actor, he fulfilled all the demands of the accused. After running out of money, he took loans, including personal loans, gold loans, business loans, and top-up loans. He paid the money to the accused by modes such as RTGS, UPI, cheques, angadia payments and in cash. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
