It’s going to be a Dhamaka at the Box Office as Jr NTR comes on board to star in the sequel of the blockbuster actioner War, where he will lock horns with Bollywood megastar Hrithik Roshan. War 2, set to be directed by Ayan Mukerji, will go on floors by the end of the year.
War 2 is happening
Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer War, directed by Siddharth Anand, emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2019. The film collected over Rs 400 crores back when it was released and the makers are now all set for the sequel to the blockbuster film. War 2 has been OK’d by the makers and it will be directed by Ayan Mukerji. Hrithik will be repeating his role of Kabir. The plot of the film will follow the events post Tiger 3. War 2 will be targeting a late 2024 or early 2025 release.
“NTR Jr. is locking horns with Hrithik Roshan in War 2 and it’s going to be an epic action adventure. Their battle of fierce showdown will be an action spectacle worth experiencing on the big screen. War 2 is now a true blue pan-India film with top superstars from the Northern and Southern industries,” quoted Indian Express.
“The move by Aditya Chopra enables War 2 to have the widest audience appeal for a Hindi Film and also amped up the box office potential of the film. The Southern market should come alive and connect at an even bigger level due to the presence of their beloved young tiger – NTR Jr,” sources said.

The Spy Universe
Meanwhile, Ayan had also earlier hinted that “I have another piece of news to share… The universe presented me with a very special opportunity recently – a very special movie – to step into and direct. What the movie is… more on that when the time is right 🙂 An opportunity that challenges me and terribly excites me… one where I will learn, be inspired and where I will grow! So, I have decided to take it up!! Opening myself up to all the positive energies in this universe so I can do my best and contribute to that one thing that matters most to me – Indian Cinema! Love and Light, Ayan.”
Meanwhile, YRF’s ambitious spy universe, which started off with Shah Rukh Khan’s global hit Pathaan, will now see films like Tiger 3, headlined by Salman Khan, War 2 and the Tiger v/s Pathaan film, which would feature the epic clash of Salman and Shah Rukh.
