Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced under the YRF Spy Universe banner, War 2 is being touted as 2025's biggest film. NTR makes his massive Bollywood debut in a never-seen-before avatar. Reports suggest he brings an unpredictable, powerful energy to the role, adding an entirely new dynamic to the franchise.
The film has been shot across Salamanca, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, and Italy, with production starting back in October 2023. From leaked on-set images to mounting speculation about its high-octane action set pieces, War 2 is shaping up to be a global cinematic event. Meanwhile, North American advance bookings for War 2 are now open, and early numbers suggest a stellar start. And with the release of the much-hyped dance face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR on the horizon, the buzz is only going to skyrocket.
