The long-awaited teaser for War 2 has arrived, and fans everywhere are abuzz. Ayan Mukerji directs the movie with Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Agent Kabir and Jr NTR, Telugu superstar, joining as the villain in his Bollywood debut. The movie has a big theatrical opening scheduled on August 14, 2025, just before India’s Independence Day.
Action, Glamour, and Intensity
The teaser is full of adrenaline-packed action from sword battles and brutal hand-to-hand combat to high-octane car chases. Hrithik Roshan again glides easily into being the cool and lethal Kabir. Jr NTR, however, pulls a stunning coup with his intense screen presence, bringing a new dimension to the YRF Spy Universe. Kiara Advani also makes waves, stealing the show with a daring bikini scene and hot chemistry with Hrithik.
