The wait is finally over! Yash Raj Films is back with another adrenaline-pumping addition to its ever-expanding Spy Universe — War 2. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, this high-octane thriller promises to blend mind-blowing action, global espionage, and an ensemble cast like never before.
The Legacy Continues
The first War (2019) set the box office on fire, thanks to Hrithik Roshan’s magnetic charm and Tiger Shroff’s agile action. Now, War 2 raises the stakes, bringing back Major Kabir Dhaliwal (Hrithik Roshan) while introducing new powerhouse performers — Jr NTR in his Bollywood debut, and Kiara Advani in a fierce, action-packed avatar.
Meet the Titans
-
Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Kabir, this time walking a thin line between hero and rogue operative.
-
Jr NTR, playing Vikram, is a formidable agent on Kabir’s trail, marking his grand Hindi cinema entry.
-
Kiara Advani steps into the Spy Universe as a sharp, fearless character — armed, dangerous, and in full control.
-
The film also features Anil Kapoor as the new R&AW chief, Ashutosh Rana returning as Colonel Karan Luthra, and possible cameos from Tiger Shroff, Shah Rukh Khan, and John Abraham.
The Plot
While the makers have kept the storyline under wraps, early buzz hints at a cat-and-mouse chase across international borders. Kabir, once the hero, is now on the run, with Vikram tasked to bring him down. Expect double-crosses, spy intrigue, and personal vendettas — all served with IMAX-scale visuals.
