With just a month to go until its release, Yash Raj Films has dropped a striking new poster for War 2, intensifying excitement for one of the biggest action spectacles of 2025. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani, the much anticipated sequel is set to hit cinemas on August 14, 2025.

Spy universe expands with high-stakes action

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is poised to push the boundaries of the YRF Spy Universe, following the success of the 2019 blockbuster War. The new poster showcases the lead trio in full action mode Hrithik Roshan wielding a sword, NTR Jr. with a clenched fist and intense glare, and Kiara Advani aiming her gun with steely resolve. Explosive visuals featuring jet skis, fiery battles, and dramatic landscapes hint at a cinematic extravaganza.

Mystery and intrigue around new characters

Hrithik returns as Kabir, the elite intelligence officer, but details about NTR Jr.’s role remain tightly under wraps. Whether he plays friend or foe, his debut in the franchise is creating major buzz, particularly among fans of Telugu cinema. Kiara Advani’s character also remains a mystery, but her central placement on the poster suggests a significant and action-heavy role.

Pan-India release and IMAX spectacle

YRF has announced a tri-lingual release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu to tap into a wider audience over the extended Independence Day weekend. The film will also be available in IMAX, promising an immersive viewing experience. According to sources, the high octane trailer is likely to be release next week.

Countdown to a cinematic blockbuster

Produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is the studio’s most ambitious venture since Pathaan and Tiger 3. With high-octane action, star power, and a growing spy universe, the countdown is officially on for one of the year’s most explosive releases.
