War 2: Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Lock Horns In Deadly New Promo; Advance Booking Opens Now
Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR clash in an intense new War 2 promo as advance booking begins. The high-octane action thriller releases on August 14.
It's almost time! War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in lead roles, is all set to hit theatres on August 14, and the buzz is sky-high. Now, just about a week before the film's grand release, the makers have announced that advance booking for the action thriller is open, and tickets are currently on sale. The news of advance booking also came with a special pre-release gift, as the makers dropped a new action promo of the film.
The action promo featured yet another deadly fight between Hrithik and Jr NTR. While dropping the promo and announcing the opening of advance booking, the makers wrote, 'Are you ready to witness the CARNAGE in cinemas from August 14th? BOOK TICKETS NOW for #War2 and let us give you an experience to cherish for the rest of your lives 🔥🔥 Releasing in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil in theatres worldwide! (Link in bio)"
As the makers dropped the promo with the happy news, fans started reacting to it. One wrote, 'Can't wait 🔥." Another fan shared, 'This promo >>>> trailer and teaser." Meanwhile, a third fan wrote, '7 tickets booked already."
Meanwhile, a report by Bollywood Hungama claimed that the CBFC examined the film closely and asked the makers to carry out multiple audio and visual modifications. The most notable changes include muting 'inappropriate references" in six separate places in the film. An 'obscene" dialogue was completely replaced with an approved, toned-down sentence. Additionally, a two-second 'obscene" gesture—occurring roughly a minute after the controversial dialogue—was ordered to be removed entirely.
About War 2
The film's plot sets up an intense face-off between Hrithik Roshan's character, Major Kabir Dhaliwal, and Jr NTR's Vikram. Both are Indian spies but operate on vastly different interpretations of patriotism, leading to a clash that promises to be both physical and ideological. Kiara Advani steps in as Kavya Luthra, a character expected to play a pivotal role in the unfolding drama.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 serves as the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, which starred Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. The first film was a runaway hit, praised for its slick action and stylish storytelling. This sequel is also a part of the growing YRF Spy Universe, which connects characters and narratives from films like Pathaan and Tiger Zinda Hai.
War 2 promotions
The makers of War 2 are using quite an interesting marketing strategy to promote the film, with Jr NTR and Hrithik doing hilarious things to pull each other's leg. First, Jr NTR parked a billboard truck outside Hrithik's Mumbai residence. The billboard, featuring Jr NTR's photo from War 2, also had the text, 'Ghungroo toot jaayenge par hum se yeh war jeet nahi paaoge."
Later, Hrithik hit back with a hilarious comeback. Hrithik sent a billboard to NTR's residence featuring a photo of himself with the text, 'Naatu Naatu as much as you want but I am winning this war."
Sharing the picture, Jr NTR wrote, 'Nice return gift @hrithikroshan sir… But this is not the end! The War begins for real on 14th August. See you then! 😎"
