The YRF Spy Universe Expands
War 2 is the sixth film in the expanding YRF Spy Universe, following Pathaan, Tiger 3, and War. Mukerji acknowledged the immense pressure of taking over a franchise that already has a massive fan base and box office pedigree:
“It’s a huge responsibility to take forward something so loved,” he told press. “I’m approaching it with both excitement and deep focus.”
This is Mukerji’s first foray into grounded, high-octane espionage action, a major genre shift from his previous fantasy and romance-oriented projects.

What We Know So Far
- Cast: Hrithik Roshan (Kabir), Jr NTR (villain), Kiara Advani (rumored female lead)
- Tone: Darker, more intense, with international locations
- Action: Promises hand-to-hand combat, stylized chase sequences, and high emotional stakes
- Release: Expected in late 2025, potentially coinciding with a major holiday window
Insiders suggest Jr NTR’s role is morally grey, allowing the film to explore deeper themes of loyalty, betrayal, and power.
Fan Expectations Are Sky-High
The Hrithik vs NTR showdown has become one of the most anticipated cinematic clashes in recent Indian film history. From style wars to philosophical ideologies, fans are expecting substance beyond spectacle.
Mukerji’s track record with emotionally charged characters and epic scale makes him a compelling choice to elevate the spy genre.
