What is War 2 story? Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, Jr NTR's action-drama is likely a 'Cat vs Rottweiler' showdown
Well, if you are also wondering what the story is going to be this time? Then we have an answer. We found out the synopsis of the Ayaan Mukerji directorial in the USA theatre listings.
War 2 synopsis
According to data on Gulte.com, the synopsis of War 2 from US theatre listings has been going viral on social media. As per that, it is said that years ago in the War, Agent Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) went 'rogue' and went on to become India's greatest villain. But now in War 2, it is said that he will descend further down into the deepest shadows.
To catch him, India will send their deadliest and most lethal agent. 'A Special Units Officer who is more than Kabir's equal.... Absolutely Nuclear! Agent Vikram (Jr NTR).' With the description that is given in the synopsis for the RRR star, we can only imagine how deadly his character is going to be.
The synopsis further concludes by writing, 'A brutal Cat versus Rottweiler game begins as the two face off. The entire world is their brutal, bloody battleground. The choices ahead of them are impossible. The price to be paid is ultimate. This is a War with spectacular action and heart-wrenching emotion.'
War 2 will be the only film with an IMAX release in India over the Independence Day weekend
Pinkvilla had exclusively revealed a while back that no other film except for War 2 will see an IMAX release in India over the Independence Day weekend. 'The film has secured a run on IMAX properties until the release of the next Conjuring film. Internationally, too, most properties catering to the Indian diaspora are giving a preference to War 2 at IMAX properties,' revealed a source close to the development.
We bet fans cannot wait to watch this film in the theatres. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such updates.

Shah Rukh Khan mopped the floor on 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani' set, reveals Faruk Kabir: 'He has so much humility'
may now be known for his action and spy thrillers like 'Salakaar' and the 'Khuda Haafiz' franchise, but his journey in cinema started much earlier, on the sets of 's 2000 film 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustan'i. The , starrer, where both played journalists, had Kabir working behind the scenes as an assistant director. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Looking back, he shared vivid memories of Shah Rukh's discipline and humility on set. 'Whoever works with Shah Rukh is first embarrassed by how less he works because Shah Rukh works too hard. He's constantly present once he's on set. He's not mentally absent. He's in that world, with his actors and his director. If some junior artiste is not doing something right in the background, he'd go and correct him affectionately. He doesn't show attitude, scold or scream at people. He does all of this with a lot of love,' Kabir recalled. SRK shuts down troll telling him to retire with witty comeback In a conversation with The Lallantop, Kabir added, 'Despite being such a huge star, he has so much humility. That's the biggest lesson you learn from Shah Rukh.' One particular moment that stood out for him came during the shoot of the song 'I Am The Best'. SRK had to perform a knee slide, but the floor wasn't smooth enough. Kabir remembered, 'So he borrowed a bucket and a mop from the production department nearby. He went there casually, smoking a cigarette. After stubbing it, he began mopping the floor. There were only three or four people on set then. Even the lightmen were fast asleep. So I rushed, grabbed the other mop, and started mopping the floor along with Shah Rukh. He reached the set early because he was done with lunch. But he didn't wait for the crew to reach as they were still eating. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Then he rehearsed and was ready for the shot once the crew arrived.' 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani' was SRK's first film as a producer where he started his banner in partnership with Juhi Chawla and Aziz Mirza. Though the film underperformed at the box office, the production house later made Santosh Sivan's 'Asoka' (2001) and Mirza's Chalte Chalte (2003), both starring Shah Rukh. Eventually as all the films made by them underperformed at the box office, eventually, the company was shut. Shah Rukh eventually went on to start his own production house with 'Main Hoon Na'.
