Yash Raj Films is clearly pulling out all the stops for War 2, and if the latest reports are to be believed, we’re in for a cinematic spectacle unlike any other. With Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani headlining this spy thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji, it looks like YRF is dialing up the action to 11. And if you thought the first War was intense, brace yourselves, because things are about to get wilder.
According to some spicy new rumors, Jr NTR is set to take on a gang of 40 baddies in an action sequence that will reportedly leave fans screaming, “This is Sparta!”—or at least the Telugu version of it. In what seems like a flex of pure power and might, the Telugu superstar’s Bollywood debut is being designed to ensure that his character packs a punch, or rather, 40 punches. Ayan Mukerji and his team have started filming the scene in Mumbai, and it sounds like they’ve got three days of adrenaline-pumping, body-slamming, high-octane chaos lined up. Because, why not?

As if that wasn’t enough to get your heart racing, another juicy tidbit suggests that Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan could make a jaw-dropping cameo in War 2. That’s right—rumor has it that SRK might pop up in his dapper Pathaan avatar, giving us a potential crossover with Hrithik’s Kabir. While the details are still hush-hush and filming for this epic cameo might not happen until 2025, fans are already losing their minds at the thought of a Tiger–Pathaan–Kabir universe that keeps expanding like the Marvel Cinematic Universe but with way more six-packs and slow-mo shots.
According to Dainik Bhaskar, Shah Rukh’s Pathaan could even make a cameo appearance in the post-credits scene. Because who needs patience when you’ve got King Khan to look forward to after the credits roll, right?
An insider also spilled the beans to Mid-Day, revealing that Ayan Mukerji wanted Jr NTR’s solo scene to “highlight the character’s raw power”—and what better way to do that than by having him beat the stuffing out of a small army? Hrithik Roshan, meanwhile, will be joining the action soon for another sequence that promises to deliver twice the thrills when he and Jr NTR team up. The dynamic duo of War 2 is set to be the stuff of legends, and the internet can hardly wait.
While we all wait for more sneak peeks from the sets, a viral photo of Kiara Advani and Ayan Mukerji has already surfaced, teasing fans about what’s to come. With War 2 slated for a release during the Independence Day 2025 weekend, it looks like the countdown to the biggest Bollywood action extravaganza has officially begun.
