Hrithik Roshan's Sword Fight Scene From War 2 LEAKED, Video Clip Breaks the Internet
Last Updated:
A high-voltage scene from War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan has leaked, showing him in a jaw-dropping sword fight in a Japanese monastery.
It's happening! The internet is literally losing it after a high-voltage scene from War 2 featuring none other than Hrithik Roshan just got leaked. Needless to say, it's all kinds of epic. The viral clip shows Hrithik in beast mode, locked in a jaw-dropping sword fight that looks straight out of a big-budget Hollywood action flick.
The leaked scene shows Hrithik Roshan inside a serene Japanese monastery, wielding a traditional Japanese sword like an absolute pro. The surroundings have been blurred.
Interestingly, the scene is rumoured to have been filmed at YRF's swanky studio in Andheri, Mumbai. The set has been styled to look like a 300-year-old hilltop monarchy, complete with misty vibes and royal grandeur.
Check out the tweet:
Earlier it was reported that one of the most exciting scenes of War 2 will be Hrithik Roshan's entry scene. Reports suggested that he will engage in a thrilling sword fight with a formidable villain in a Japanese monastery. Initially, it was speculated that this scene would take place in a Shaolin Temple. It was said that this epic battle will serve as his introduction in the film.
Filmed in March, this epic sequence was the brainchild of producer Aditya Chopra and director Ayan Mukerji, who felt it was time the War franchise ventured into the world of the Orient. So, they went all out—building a stunning 300-year-old heritage-style monastery set right inside YRF Studios in Mumbai. To bring the scene to life, Hrithik went through intense martial arts training and even learned how to expertly handle a katana, the iconic Japanese sword.
Adding to the excitement, it was also reported that War 2 will feature a dance number that will undoubtedly set the screen on fire. The sequel will see Hrithik and Jr NTR sharing the dance floor.
A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Both Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR are known for their dance moves. Interestingly, both were recently seen in two-hero films – Hrithik in War and Jr NTR in RRR (2022). And both films had two hero dance numbers that were unanimously loved (Jr NTR shook a leg with Ram Charan in the Oscar-winning song 'Naatu Naatu'). For War 2, they both come together and hence, one can expect fireworks on the big screen during their number. It'll be like 'Jai Jai Shivshankar' meeting 'Naatu Naatu'!"
War 2 is Hrithik Roshan's next big action spectacle, directed by Ayan Mukerji with a script penned by Abbas Tyrewala. The film is being backed by Siddharth Anand and Aditya Chopra under the YRF banner. Alongside Hrithik, the film also stars Jr NTR and Kiara Advani in key roles. A direct sequel to the 2019 hit War, this high-octane thriller is all set to roar into theatres on August 14, 2025.

India's highest paid director, charging ₹200 crore for a film, not Karan Johar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga or Rohit Shetty
Several factors determine whether a film becomes a box office success-- be it star power, chart-topping music, or a stellar screenplay. But at the heart of it all is the director, the true captain of the ship, who brings the entire vision to life. While it is the star actors who are paid hefty to bring the audience, it is India's highest-paid director who charges even more than actors like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. It is SS Rajamouli who holds the title of India's highest-paid film director. The Telugu filmmaker charges around ₹ 200 crore for each film he directs as per IMDd. It is said to include his upfront fees, profit share, and bonus for the sale of rights. His share can even climb higher depending on the success of the film. For instance, RRR was a global success, fetching even Academy Awards. Rajamouli was reportedly paid ₹ 200 crore after the success of his Baahubali franchise. A ₹ 200 crore paycheck for a single film places the director among the highest-paid film personalities in the country. In fact, some of India's richest superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are said to earn around ₹ 150-180 crore per film. Rajamouli's remuneration remains higher than theirs. SS Rajamouli's massive paycheck highlights his superstar status among directors. When RRR was promoted in North India, it was marketed as Rajamouli's film, despite having two major actors, Ram Charan and Jr NTR from the South industry. It happened so because of the Baahubali films which made him a household name across India. Baahubali 2 alone earned ₹ 510 crore in Hindi, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film for six years until Pathaan's release in 2023. Similarly, RRR also did impressive business at the ticket window, collecting over ₹ 270 crore in its Hindi version. If we believe the industry insiders, no other director comes close to Rajamouli's earnings. He charges more than double what others are getting in India. Big names like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prasanth Neel are said to earn around ₹ 90 crore per film. Celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani takes home ₹ 80 crore, as per reports. Directors like Sukumar, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Siddharth Anand also charge a big amount, with each earning over ₹ 40 crore for a single film, yet nowhere close to the RRR director. Meanwhile, Hindi filmmakers like Karan Johar and Rohit Shetty who usually produce their own movies, make money through profit-sharing. They are said to not charge money as their fees.

The bizarre truth about how astronauts deal with dirty clothes on the International Space Station will blow your mind
TIL Creatives Astronauts aboard the International Space Station don't do laundry—instead, they wear clothes until they're too soiled, then eject them to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. When you imagine life aboard the International Space Station, you probably picture zero-gravity acrobatics, awe-inspiring views of Earth, and high-tech gear floating through futuristic modules. What you might not picture, however, is the simple, yet startling question: how do astronauts do their laundry? The answer is as bizarre as space travel itself—and it's turning heads online. Contrary to what Earthlings might expect, astronauts don't have access to washing machines or even manual laundry buckets. There's no rinse cycle in orbit. In fact, worn clothes aboard the ISS are never washed at all. Once garments become too filthy to endure, astronauts do what only astronauts can—they throw them out. Quite literally. Used clothing is packed into cargo spacecrafts which are eventually directed to burn up during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. That's right—astronaut underwear and sweat-stained polos become shooting stars in the sky. It's an unconventional solution, but given the precious water supply and the impracticality of hauling detergent into orbit, it's the only viable option—at least for now. Fortunately, conditions aboard the ISS help mitigate the grime. The station is temperature-controlled, limiting how much astronauts actually sweat. It's a sterile, sealed environment—no dirt, rain, or backyard chores to ruin an outfit. That said, astronauts still have to make every item count. Typically, each crew member brings just one polo shirt for every 15 days and one pair of underwear for every three. To stretch cleanliness further, NASA partners with apparel companies to develop space-grade garments. These aren't your everyday clothes—they're antibacterial, absorbent, quick-drying, and odor-resistant. In one case, Japanese brand BEAMS designed specially engineered garments for astronaut Soichi Noguchi's extended mission in 2020. These outfits are built to fight odor and bacteria, helping astronauts avoid infections and stay as fresh as possible without a single rinse. When Redditors caught wind of the ISS laundry routine, reactions ranged from fascination to disbelief. Some questioned the hygiene implications, while others simply shuddered at the lifestyle. 'I was wondering how they didn't get UTIs and boils,' one user commented, relieved to learn about the antibacterial clothing requirement. Another added humorously, 'When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut so badly. Now? Not so much.' Some were more curious: 'How many outfits do they bring?' one person asked. 'Can you identify an astronaut who's been up there too long by whether or not they're naked?' As absurd as burning clothes may sound, NASA and Tide are working on a cleaner, more sustainable solution. In 2022, the detergent giant joined forces with the space agency to develop a fully degradable laundry detergent—formulated specifically for space. Their goal? To make laundry in microgravity a real possibility, even with minimal water use. If successful, future astronauts could enjoy the luxury of clean clothes without having to incinerate them in Earth's atmosphere. So, the next time you toss your laundry into the washer, be grateful. Up in space, even that humble chore requires rocket science.
