Yash Raj Films has set the internet ablaze with the release of the highly anticipated “War 2 teaser”, dropped on May 20 to mark the eve of NTR’s 42nd birthday.
The sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, directed by Ayan Mukerji, pits Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir against NTR’s Veera Raghav in what fans are calling the “biggest face-off in Indian cinema.”
The 1-minute-34-second teaser, unveiled in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, showcases a stylish, high-octane collision between the two stars. Jr NTR’s icy voiceover taunts Kabir as “India’s former top soldier,” immediately setting the stage for an intense rivalry.
The teaser is packed with cinematic stunts—sword fights, car chases, a plane crash, and a face-off in an ice cave—culminating in a brutal hand-to-hand brawl between the leads.
The teaser release was a perfect birthday treat to NTR’s fans.
With a film shot across international locations and reportedly featuring a high-energy dance sequence between the two leads, “War 2” is shaping up to be a stylish, globe-trotting espionage epic.
Social media has erupted with praise, calling the teaser a “blockbuster preview” and tipping War 2 to break records set by RRR and Pathaan. While the teaser has been lauded overall, some viewers called for minor improvements in visual effects before the film’s scheduled release.
The hype surrounding “War 2” even prompted the team behind Jr NTR’s other big project with Prashanth Neel (#NTRNeel) to delay their own update.
Set for a grand Independence Day weekend release on August 14, 2025, “War 2” will hit screens in five languages: Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. With NTR making his full-fledged Bollywood debut and Hrithik Roshan returning as a fan-favorite spy, the stage is set for a multilingual box office showdown that may redefine action cinema in India.
