Watch| ‘War 2’ Teaser: Hrithik Roshan Returns as Kabir for a High-Octane Clash with Jr. NTR

Prepare yourself for one of the most awaited on-screen confrontations of 2025! Bollywood's own Hrithik Roshan is back as Agent Kabir in 'War 2', pitted this time against South Indian megastar Jr NTR, who makes his long-awaited Bollywood debut.

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the teaser of 'War 2' has finally been released, creating a storm on social media, perfectly on the occasion of Jr NTR's birthday. And what an announcement this is — this teaser is not only a preview, it's an audacious declaration that this movie will take over 2025.

About the 'WAR 2' Teaser
The teaser, at 1 minute and 34 seconds, was posted by Hrithik Roshan himself on X (formerly Twitter), extending a warm but fierce welcome to Jr NTR to the franchise. Being faithful to Kabir's on-screen character, Hrithik posted, "And so it begins, @tarak9999. Be ready, no mercy is going to be shown. Welcome to Hell. Love, Kabir. #War2teaser #War2."

Countering that, Jr NTR, who was popular for his character in 'RRR', retorted with equal fervor: "Mercy doesn't exist where I come from Kabir. I am ready for the WAR @iHrithik sir!!!" The buzz for 'War 2' is intense now, with promos now available in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The movie is to be released on August 14, 2025.

The teaser brings back Hrithik Roshan as Kabir, tougher, darker, bulkier, and more muscular than ever before. From the animated sword fights and a battle with a wolf to showing off his bulging biceps, Hrithik takes the action sequences to unprecedented levels. The teaser is packed with adrenaline-fueled car chases and crushing punches, making a visual impact, delivering big time. With this new look, Hrithik promises that Kabir is back with vengeance — no holds barred.

As the electric chemistry between Jr NTR and Hrithik is the central focus, Kiara Advani appears in a stunning swimsuit, bringing a dash of sophistication and flirting with a love line that involves Hrithik's character.

‘War 2’ isn’t just a follow-up to the 2019 hit ‘War’, which featured Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vaani Kapoor. It’s the sixth chapter in the ever-expanding YRF Spy Universe. Starting with ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, followed by ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘War’, ‘Pathaan’, and ‘Tiger 3’, this franchise has become India’s most ambitious cinematic universe. With Jr NTR and Kiara Advani joining the lineup, the story is set to venture into darker, more intense territory.

As per a report by Pinkvilla, "'War 2' is the most ambitious film of the YRF Spy Universe, which has been shot across the world in over 150 days." The locations for shooting are stunning places like Spain, Italy, Abu Dhabi, Japan, Russia, and India, guaranteeing a world-spanning spy showpiece infrequently witnessed in Indian cinema.

Jr NTR as the Villain
The buzz for the film has grown stronger with Jr NTR's announcement to play the villain. No one-dimensional evil, this character is reported to be morally complex and multi-layered, providing him with plenty of room to bring out a new aspect of his acting skills. This decision raises concerns considerably. With Jr NTR taking the dark route and Hrithik reprising the suave Kabir, fans can look forward to an electrifying battle of ideologies, brawn, and magnetic presence on screen.

Dance, Drama, and Romance
It's not all high-octane action and spy game — music too is a significant part of 'War 2'. The report indicates a forthcoming high-energy dance number that has a musical face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR. "The shoot for the song will take place in the last week of June. Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr are thrilled to shoot for this one-of-its-kind musical face-off.". It's a lively dance number by Pritam." Also, the movie will feature a romantic song featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. Having only two songs in the whole movie, both are crafted to be "chartbusters," according to the report.

Six Epic Action Sequences
No spy thriller is ever complete without mind-blowing action, and 'War 2' delivers in abundance — from hand-to-hand combat and sword fights to ocean boat high-speed chases, and heart-stopping car and bike chases. The report continues, "The edit work is in full swing, and the film is ready for August 14, 2025 release.". It features Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. like never before, as the film celebrates their heroics, and aura to the peak. It's a fight to the finish between two strong-headed men.”

Ayan Mukerji’s Bold Foray into the Spy Genre
Known for his work in films like ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, and ‘Brahmāstra’, Ayan Mukerji’s move into an action-packed spy thriller may surprise some. However, insiders suggest he has infused ‘War 2’ with a unique blend of storytelling, scale, and emotional depth.

With a release date slated for August 14, 2025, 'War 2' is set to become a blockbuster. Releasing over the Independence Day weekend, it promises to draw massive crowds across the country and beyond.
