Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Gear Up For An Epic 3 Hour 10 Minute Action Spectacle, Longest And Darkest Chapter Of YRF’s Spy Universe Set To Storm The Screens
After weeks of mounting anticipation, the War 2 trailer has dropped on July 25, 2025. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, the action thriller brings together Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan and Telugu sensation Jr NTR in their most spectacular showdown yet. The film releases on August 14, 2025, across Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu versions.
Yash Raj Films’ much-anticipated War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is shaping up to be one of the biggest theatrical events in Indian cinema. The film is the sixth installment in the growing YRF Spy Universe, following the success of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, known for Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, the film brings together a powerful cast and a pan-India sensibility with Telugu superstar Jr NTR joining the franchise. According to reports, War 2 will have a massive runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes, making it one of the longest action thrillers in recent Bollywood history.
Longest Runtime in Spy Universe Yet
The extended duration hints at a plot-heavy narrative filled with high-stakes action, emotional arcs, and complex character dynamics. Pathaan clocked in at 2 hours 26 minutes War clocked 2 hours 34 minutes, Tiger Zinda Hai was 2 hours 41 minute long and Tiger 3 had 2 hours 36 minutes runtime.
The reported length of 3 hour 10 minute of War 2 reflects the scale YRF is aiming for with its crossover ambitions.
The film is expected to set the stage for upcoming YRF Spy Universe films. A source cited in multiple media reports confirmed that the length was justified by “the story’s depth, action design, and larger-than-life confrontations between Hrithik and Jr NTR’s characters.”
Hrithik Roshan And Kiara Advani’s Romantic Love Ballad AAVAN JAAVAN To Release On 31st July From War 2
Earlier yesterday, it was revealed that the first song from War 2 – the highly anticipated sequel in YRF’s Spy Universe—is set to release on July 31, coinciding with Kiara Advani’s birthday. The romantic track featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani is a flashback number titled as Aavan Jaavan, offering audiences a deeper understanding of Kabir and Kavya’s emotional past.
In what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated tracks of the year, the hitmaking team behind the iconic Kesariya – director Ayan Mukerji, composer Pritam, lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya, and singer Arijit Singh—are reuniting for a romantic track in War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani.
The track, which is expected to drop this week on 31st July, will be the first song from War 2 to be released, just ahead of the film’s grand Independence Day weekend opening on August 14, 2025. The internet has been buzzing with chatter about this reunion, and now, the collaboration has been officially confirmed by Yash Raj Films, the producers of the upcoming spy action thriller.
While YRF spokesperson confirms the latest update, they refrained from giving away plot details, but a source close to the development reveals, “It is a beautiful track that shows the romance between Hrithik and Kiara’s characters in War 2. The song is soft, emotional, and soulful—very different from the high-octane tone of the film. It will reveal the backstory of their relationship.”
The romantic ballad is actually a flashback number, shedding light on Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) and Kavya (Kiara Advani) and their past connection. Shot in the scenic locales of Rome and Tuscany, glimpses of the shoot had leaked online months ago, creating a frenzy among fans eager to witness this on-screen pairing’s chemistry.
What to Expect from War 2
Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Kabir, the rogue RAW agent, while Jr NTR is said to be playing either a formidable antagonist or a parallel lead with shades of grey. The dynamic between the two stars is already a major talking point, and fans are eagerly awaiting their on-screen face-off.
Produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is slated for a 2025 release and is reportedly being mounted on an enormous budget with a global scale in mind. With Mukerji’s visual storytelling, intense choreography, and YRF’s backing, the film promises to be a game-changer for Indian action cinema.
