India's very own Spyverse- YRF Spy Universe- is offering an exciting lineup of films. After Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi's Tiger 3, all eyes are on Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. The spy-thriller is already in the production stage and the first schedule was wrapped in Spain in October, minus the leading men.
War 2 was officially announced with a glimpse of Hrithik in Tiger 3's post-credits scene. Though the antagonist's characteristics were described in the tease, Jr NTR wasn't introduced. Amid excitement and curiosity, the makers have finalised War 2 release date.

According to reports, Hrithik and Jr NTR will be joined by Kiara Advani in War 2. She's the new addition to the franchise along with the RRR star. The news is yet to be confirmed by the team at Yash Raj Films.
In the post-credits scene of Tiger 3, Ashutosh Rana's character, Colonel Sunil Luthra, makes a call to Hrithik's Kabir to inform him about the new threat. His dialogue is, "Joh main maangne jaa raha hu, woh kisi officer ko apne soldier se maangne ka haq nahi. Na hi koi baap apne bete se maang sakta hai. Par yeh kaam sirf tum hi kar sakte ho. India mein ek naya dushman hai. Yeh dushman itna vahishya aur khatarnak hai ki hum soch bhi nahi sakte. Na toh uska koi naam hai, aur na hi chehra. Woh andhere mein rehta hai Kabir, aur usse rokne ke liye tumhe bhi issi andhere mein utarna padega. Sahi aur galat ke har line ko cross karna padega, aur apne andar ke achai aur burai ka farak mitana padega. Woh sab karna padega jisko karne ke baad tum khud ko bhi maaf nahi kar paoge. Aur agar zinda bach gaye toh maut se zyada tumhe khud se bachna padega. Kyunki aisa na ho ki shaitan se ladte ladte, tum khud hi shaitan banjao."
