About War 2

As per the sources, makers have deployed a less is more policy to keep every important information of the film under wraps for audiences to best enjoy in theatres. A similar strategy was used in YRF's last production, Saiyaara, and we all know the wonders it did at the box office. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead, along with Ashutosh Rana in pivotal roles. The movie is the direct sequel to War (2019), which starred Tiger Shroff opposite Hrithik. It is also the fifth instalment in the ambitious YRF Spy Universe, after Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. After War 2, the sixth instalment in the franchise is Alia Bhatt, Sharvari-starrer Alpha, which will release in Christmas 2025.
