Hrithik vs Jr. NTR in War 2: Will the Real Hype Begin After IPL?
War 2 is one of the most awaited Indian films of 2025. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Yash Raj Films, this action-packed spy thriller stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, and Kiara Advani. The movie is scheduled for a global release on August 14, 2025, just before Independence Day — a perfect time to attract a massive audience.
The film has created major buzz due to its powerful star cast. The face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR has especially caught the attention of fans across the country. While Hrithik impressed everyone in the teaser with his intense action scenes, Jr. NTR’s appearance didn’t meet many expectations. This led to a slight dip in excitement among Telugu audiences.
However, the makers are planning a comeback with a high-energy dance number featuring both stars. This song is expected to grab headlines and boost interest before release. Industry experts believe the film can still regain momentum.
Yash Raj Films is spending big on promotions. With a massive ₹400 crore budget, War 2 is their most expensive film yet. The teaser was also aired during key moments of the IPL 2025 Final, aiming to reach a wide audience.
Even though the teaser received mixed reactions, the upcoming trailer and songs could change public opinion. With such a big cast and strong marketing push, War 2 is expected to have a grand opening at the box office.
