The makers of War 2, the next installment in its ambitious Spy Universe, on Sunday said that the film is set to be released worldwide in theatres on August 14. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the upcoming movie is headlined by Hrithik Roshan, who also starred in its first part War. The sequel also features Jr NTR and Kiara Advani.
Yash Raj Films confirmed the release date of War 2 by re-sharing an unofficial promotional asset of the film on its official X page. “Must say… you have set it up brilliantly even before we have started our marketing of #War2… there will be mayhem in cinemas on 14 August 2025, worldwide…” the banner said in the post.
Hrithik Roshan has sustained a knee injury and the doctor has advised him to rest. “Hrithik has injured his knee. He wasn’t shooting but it happened during rehearsals for the song for War 2. Doctor has advised him to rest,” the actor’s representative said.
He was spotted at the funeral of veteran actor-filmmaker Deb Mukherjee, father of Ayan Mukerji, walking with the support of elbow crutches. Soon-to-be mom Kiara Advani was also seen attending the last rites. Deb Mukherjee passed away on Friday morning due to prolonged illness at his residence in suburban Mumbai. He was 83.
The YRF Spy Universe was launched back in 2012 with Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Ek Tha Tiger. Its success spawned two sequels – Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Tiger 3 (2023).
War, also starring Tiger Shroff, released in 2019 and was followed by 2023’s Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Also in the banner’s pipeline are Pathaan 2 with Shah Rukh, Tiger vs Pathaan, starring Salman and Shah Rukh, and Alpha, billed as the first female-led YRF Spy Universe film featuring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari.
