About War 2

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War, and the sixth installment in Yash Raj Films’ ambitious Spy Universe, after Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Backed by Aditya Chopra’s YRF, the film was released in theatres on August 14, 2025.

While Hrithik reprised his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, Jr NTR was seen as a deadly, lethal agent Vikram in the film. This marked Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut. The film also starred Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor and Varun Badola. War 2, expected to be a massive box office event, opened decently but soon lost momentum. The film was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 400 crore. According to Sacnilk, the film grossed Rs 364.35 crore worldwide.
