Mumbai, May 23, 2025 – Director Ayan Mukerji has shared insights into his experience helming War 2, revealing he was “really surprised” upon first reading the script. Known for his work on emotionally driven stories, Mukerji said that although War 2 is loaded with grand action and VFX, it was the film’s intense and dramatic core that drew him in. Calling it a challenging yet thrilling venture, he highlighted how the story’s depth made the project stand out in his career.
The film stars Hrithik Roshan, N.T. Rama Rao Jr., and Kiara Advani, with Mukerji calling Roshan and Rao a “once-in-a-lifetime duo” and praising Advani as a “ray of sunshine.” Produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is part of YRF’s growing Spy Universe and is slated for release on August 14, 2025 — a date that Mukerji noted holds personal value as it falls just before his birthday. The film is expected to be a major cinematic event blending emotional storytelling with blockbuster spectacle.
