Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has shared his thoughts and excitement on directing ‘War 2’, the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Unlike the first film, which was directed by Siddharth Anand, this highly anticipated sequel is being helmed by Mukerji under Yash Raj Films (YRF).
Following the recent release of the teaser, Ayan took to Instagram to highlight the emotional and narrative depth of the film.
“While our movie has so much to offer our audiences with its big-screen spectacle energy, today I want to draw attention to what inspires me most about War 2. That the core of this movie is a very powerful and dramatic story, which really surprised me the first time I heard its script,” Mukerji wrote.
He also expressed immense gratitude to producer Aditya Chopra and his star cast.
“Since this is actually the first time I’m saying anything officially about directing War 2, I just want to put out some love for the amazing team I have had the privilege of collaborating with,” he added.
He praised Aditya Chopra’s leadership and the opportunity to work with “the once-in-a-lifetime duo” of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.
The teaser has already created a buzz with its intense visuals and dramatic tone. It features Hrithik reprising his role as Kabir, a former elite R&AW agent, now being watched by a mysterious figure who refers to him as “India’s best soldier.”
The teaser also features actress Kiara Advani, who makes a glamorous entry and shares sizzling on-screen chemistry with Hrithik.
The teaser culminates in a fierce face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR, setting the tone for what promises to be an action-packed patriotic thriller.
‘War 2’ is slated for a theatrical release on August 15, adding to the Independence Day excitement.
