The wait is finally over! The teaser for War 2 is out, and it’s every bit as explosive as fans hoped it would be. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in a head-to-head showdown, the film promises a turbo-charged experience that’s already sending the internet into a frenzy. With Ayan Mukerji directing War 2, this sequel to the 2019 hit War is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious entries in the YRF Spy Universe. Mark your calendars: War 2 hits theatres worldwide on August 14, 2025, perfectly timed for the Independence Day weekend.
The teaser doesn’t waste a second. It throws us right into the thick of things—with edge-of-your-seat action, international backdrops, and a showdown that pits Hrithik Roshan’s Agent Kabir against a brand-new adversary: Jr NTR, making his big Bollywood debut. And yes, he’s playing the villain.
“I’ve been watching you for a long time, Kabir. You don’t know me, but you will soon know me,” warns NTR’s character in a voiceover that opens the teaser. This instantly sets the tone – intense, personal, and menacing. While Kabir remains unaware of this new threat, his opponent seems to have studied his every move, setting the stage for a truly combustible rivalry.
From brutal sword fights to heart-stopping car chases and gritty hand-to-hand combat, the teaser is packed with blockbuster energy. Kiara Advani also makes a brief appearance in a glamorous bikini-clad shot, hinting at a romantic angle with Hrithik.

War 2 isn’t just about the next big action flick—it’s also about building the future of YRF’s ever-expanding spy universe. According to a source close to the production, Jr NTR’s character is being groomed for the long haul, much like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Salman Khan’s Tiger. “His character won’t just be limited to War 2. Expect standalone films, spin-offs, and major crossover appearances,” the insider revealed.
With this, NTR joins the league of the spy universe’s heavyweights—Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan), Tiger (Salman Khan), Zoya (Katrina Kaif), and Rubaii (Deepika Padukone)—making him a major pillar in the franchise going forward.
War 2 will be the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following the massive successes of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. And the momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Up next is Alpha, a female-led action thriller starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, set to drop on December 25, 2025.
