The Hrithik Roshan-NTR intense face off has already taken the internet by storm as fans anticipate War 2 to be bigger than Pathaan and RRR, thanks to the two superstars joining forces for the first time.
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the sixth installment in the successful YRF Spy Universe, following hits like Ek Tha Tiger, War, and Pathaan.
Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Agent Kabir Dhaliwal. The sequel marks the much-awaited Bollywood debut of Tollywood sensation Jr NTR, significantly boosting its reach in southern markets. Kiara Advani also joins the cast in a pivotal role.
Questions are already flying: "Can we Declare This THE BIGGEST CLASH OF THE DECADE?" asked one fan online, while another posted, "#Coolie declares War on #War2."
Some are already wondering who will emerge victorious in this potential "Salaar vs Dunki" scenario. There`s concern that releasing together could split audiences and affect the overall earnings for both mega-productions.
Interestingly, earlier reports even suggested a three-way battle, including Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta`s Lahore: 1947. However, recent updates indicate this historical drama, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, is now targeting a June 2025 release instead.
As August 14, 2025, approaches, all eyes will be on this potential epic showdown. Will both films stick to the date? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the Independence Day weekend is shaping up to be explosive for Indian cinema!
