The anticipation surrounding War 2 has reached new heights as Hrithik Roshan dropped a cryptic teaser on his Instagram Stories, hinting at a significant reveal scheduled for May 20, 2025. Addressing his co-star Jr NTR, Hrithik wrote, “Hey @jrntr, think you know what to expect on the 20th of May this year? Trust me you have NO idea what’s in store. Ready? #War2.” Notably, May 20 coincides with Jr NTR’s birthday, making the timing of the announcement even more special.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. The film stars Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, with Jr NTR making his Hindi film debut as the antagonist Muhammad Wazim Ali Khan. Kiara Advani also plays a pivotal role in the film. The movie is scheduled for release on August 14, 2025, coinciding with Indian Independence Day.
The film’s production has been marked by high-octane action sequences, including a 15-day climax shoot in Mumbai, described as one of the most ambitious in Indian cinema. Additionally, fans are eagerly awaiting a dance face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR, two of the finest dancers in the industry. However, reports indicate that Hrithik’s recent leg injury has delayed the filming of this sequence.
As the release date approaches, the excitement continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming reveal and the film’s eventual release.
