'War 2': Writer Shridhar Raghavan delves into how spy oath will carry forward across YRF spy movies
'War 2' is coming out in a few weeks, and its new trailer has excited fans with amazing action scenes and a fierce battle between
Hrithik Roshan
and
Jr NTR
. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie is part of the YRF Spy Universe and looks like it will be an exciting addition to the series.
But besides the action, the trailer's beginning shows something deeper and more meaningful.
Creation and purpose of spy oath in 'War 2'
Writer
Shridhar Raghavan
said that the first 50 seconds of the trailer were made on purpose to show a special and emotional promise by the two main characters. The promise looks like a swearing-in ceremony and was meant to give the trailer a serious and patriotic feeling without revealing the story. Raghavan said this part helps viewers emotionally connect to the world of 'War 2' while keeping the plot a secret.
He also said this promise won't be just for this film.
It will be in all YRF spy movies, linking characters like 'Pathaan', 'Tiger', 'Kabir', and new agents.
'War 2' narrative
As reported in Bizasialive, Shridhar reveals, 'Adi was very clear that he did not want a single plot point of War 2 to be given out in the trailer. So, we created a fictional oath that the agents take during their induction into the deadly covert task forces as they prepare to sacrifice everything to protect our motherland at any cost. This oath in a way mirrors the dramatic, intense story of this film. With War 2, and with every film, we are giving people more glimpses into the shadowy world of the YRF Spy Universe — who really are these agents, what links them, what are their origin stories?'
Continuity and thematic role in 'War 2'

In the early 1990s, when Bollywood's landscape was evolving, a prominent filmmaker took a bold step by offering an unprecedented fee to a leading actor. This move not only showcased the actor's enduring appeal but also marked a significant moment in the industry's history. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is, Aaj Ka Arjun, directed by renowned film producer K.C. Bokadia, which featured Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Prada in the lead role. This film is a crime drama that delves into themes of justice and retribution. The story revolves around Bheema, portrayed by Bachchan, who seeks vengeance against a tyrannical landlord responsible for his sister's demise. Why did director offer Rs 1 crore to Amitabh Bachchan? KC Bokadia offered Rs 1 crore to Amitabh Bachchan for Aaj Ka Arjun because he believed in Bachchan's unmatched star power, even during a challenging phase in the actor's career. Though it was Bokadia's directorial debut, he was already an established and successful producer known for backing big-budget films. Offering such a massive fee was a bold move to ensure the film's visibility and commercial appeal. However, Bachchan accepted his standard fee of Rs 70 lakh, underscoring his commitment to the project over monetary gain. How much did Aaj Ka Arjun make on box office? Upon its release on August 10, 1990, Aaj Ka Arjun achieved significant commercial success. Produced on a budget of Rs 3.5 crore, it grossed over ₹10 crore worldwide, making it one of the top earners of the year. The film's success reaffirmed Bachchan's position in the industry and marked a triumphant directorial debut for Bokadia. The film's ensemble cast includes Jaya Prada as Gauri, Radhika as Laxmi, and Amrish Puri as Thakur Bhupendra Singh, among others. The highlighting part of the narrative was Bappi Lahiri's music, with songs like 'Gori Hai Kalaiyan' becoming chartbusters and contributing to the film's popularity. For the unverserd, Aaj Ka Arjun was inspired by Tamil film En Thangachi Padichava, weaves elements reminiscent of the historical epic Mahabharata, offering a contemporary take on classic tales of valor and sacrifice.
