The release date for ‘War 2’, the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster film ‘War’ starring Hrithik Roshan, has been set. The sequel will continue the story of Hrithik’s character, Major Kabir Dhaliwal, a RAW agent who was shown to have gone rogue in the previous film.
As per a trade source, ‘War 2’ will debut in theatres on August 14, 2025. The film, which is directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the 6th film from the spy universe after ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘War’, ‘Pathaan’ and the recently released Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer ‘Tiger 3’.
Hrithik also teased his appearance in ‘Tiger 3’ along with SRK, hinting towards the next movies in the spy-universe.
‘War,’ which was released in 2019, presented the story of Hrithik’s character, who turns rogue in order to rid the country’s intelligence apparatus of traitors and locate the infiltrator in the special troops.
The film set all opening day and weekend box-office records for a Hindi film before being eclipsed by Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’. It finally became the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019, as well as the 17th highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
Yash Raj Films, which recently launched the streaming series ‘The Railway Men,’ based on the 1894 Union Carbide gas disaster in Bhopal, produced the film.
