The excitement for War 2 has increased with the teaser receiving overwhelming reactions from fans and celebrities. Alia Bhatt also took to her social media to shower praise on the teaser while calling it a “special pre-birthday present" for director Ayan Mukerji. The action drama, all set to release on August 14, also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role. Taking to her Instagram stories, Alia shared the teaser and wrote, “Seated for (Fire emoticons), A special pre-birthday for real Ayan Mukerji)." Earlier, Karan Johar also praised and wrote, “And here comes the biggest Blockbuster of the year!!! This clash of the titans is going to be EPIC and storm at the box office!!!! I literally cannot wait!" Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 serves as the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Take a look here: In the teaser, Kiara grabbed attention for wearing bikini. Taking to her Instagram stories, Kiara shared the bikini look and wrote, “Lots of firsts in this, First YRF film, first action film, first with these two amazing heroes, first collaboration with Ayan and of course first bikini shot. Here’s the teaser, hope we have got u excited for august." The teaser showcases Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Agent Kabir. Jr NTR, making his Bollywood debut, steps in as the antagonist. The video features adrenaline-pumping sequences, including sword fights, car chases, and hand-to-hand combat. Kiara Advani’s bikini scene is also grabbing attention. She will be romancing with Hrithik Roshan. A source close to the development revealed that Jr NTR’s role is being treated as a long-term investment in the spy franchise, much like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Salman Khan’s Tiger. “His character won’t just be limited to War 2. Expect standalone films, spin-offs, and major crossover appearances," the insider shared, hinting at a multi-film presence for the Telugu icon in the YRF cinematic universe. With this, Jr NTR’s character will be elevated to the same stature as Spy Universe legends—Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan), Tiger (Salman Khan), Zoya (Katrina Kaif), and Rubaii (Deepika Padukone). This strategic move positions NTR as a central pillar in the franchise’s future.
