Islamabad, May 21, 2025: The Indian cinematic universe just got a turbocharged upgrade as the War 2 teaser exploded online on May 20, 2025—marking Telugu icon Jr NTR’s birthday with a bang.
This highly awaited action thriller pits Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan against Jr NTR in a face-off that’s already being hailed as one of the fiercest rivalries in modern Indian cinema.
War 2 is the newest gem in Yash Raj Films’ ambitious Spy Universe, following box-office smashes like Ek Tha Tiger, War, and Pathaan. Visionary director Ayan Mukerji helms this installment, bringing together a pan-India cast led by Hrithik Roshan, reprising his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, and Jr NTR, who steps into Hindi cinema as a powerful antagonist.
The film also stars Kiara Advani, adding glamour and intensity to the already dynamic cast.
War 2 teaser has sent social media into a frenzy, drawing over a million views within hours of release. Critics and fans alike are raving about the slick visuals, high-octane action, and the electric chemistry between the two leads.
Many have likened it to the Mission: Impossible franchise, dubbing it the “Indian Mission Impossible” thanks to its sharp editing and jaw-dropping stunts. One sequence featuring Hrithik has even drawn nostalgic parallels to Thalapathy Vijay’s famed stunt in Bairavaa.
Yet, not all feedback has been glowing. A brief shot of Kiara Advani in a bikini drew criticism for subpar green screen effects. Still, the overwhelming reaction has been positive, with fans hungry for more.
Speaking on the teaser’s reception, Jr NTR shared, “The response to the War 2 teaser has been incredible. I can’t wait for you to experience it on August 14th.” Strategically releasing just ahead of India’s Independence Day, the film is expected to dominate the holiday weekend across both domestic and international markets.
