'War 2': Writer Shridhar Raghavan delves into how spy oath will carry forward across YRF spy movies
'War 2' features a patriotic spy oath linking characters across the YRF Spy Universe. The oath, shown in the trailer, sets a serious tone without spoilers. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the film releases August 14, 2025, in multiple languages. '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' Raghavan About 'War 2' In 'War 2', Kiara Advani plays the female lead. The film has been carrying high expectations from fans and the industry alike. It will be released on August 14, 2025 in numerous languages such as Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
