The much-anticipated spy-thriller sequel, ‘War 2’, has officially marked its calendar for a grand release on the auspicious occasion of Independence Day 2025, August 15.

The announcement, made by the production house Yash Raj Films (YRF), sets the stage for a high-octane cinematic experience, joining the league of YRF’s Spy Universe, an ANI report stated.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Instagram to share the news, captioning his post with the announcement: “YRF announces WAR 2 release date: Independence Day weekend, 2025.”

Helmed by acclaimed director Ayan Mukerji, this sequel promises to bring an amalgamation of intrigue, action and stellar performances.

The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles, marking the first-ever collaboration between Hrithik and Jr NTR.

Recently, YRF unveiled Hrithik’s character from ‘War 2’ in a gripping post-credit scene in the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Tiger 3‘, further stoking anticipation among fans.

‘War’, the predecessor of this upcoming sequel, directed by Siddharth Anand, made waves in 2019 as an adrenaline-pumping action spectacle, amassing a staggering Rs 200 crore within just seven days of its release. Renowned for its high-octane sequences and gripping narrative, it emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of the year.

While ‘War 2’ gears up for its much-awaited release, Roshan is set to enthrall audiences in Siddharth Anand’s aerial action thriller ‘Fighter‘, co-starring Deepika Padukone.

On the other hand, Jr NTR is slated to appear in the pan-India venture ‘Devara‘, sharing the screen with Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, signaling an exciting phase in the actors’ careers.
