'War 2', which is the sixth film of the Yash Raj Films (YRF) spy universe, is directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film pits superstar Hrithik Roshan against Jr NTR in a bloody showdown of epic proportions. It also stars Kiara Advani, while the music is given by Pritam.
A report by mid-day.com states that the two actors will also have a dance-off in the new thriller. While it was a foregone conclusion that the Aditya Chopra production would include a dance number featuring Duggu, it seems that the makers have come up with a situation to involve Taarak's character in showcasing his nimble-footed skills as well. Especially after his smooth moves in the Oscar-winning song, âNaatu Naatu' from SS Rajamouli's âRRR' (2022) co-starring Ram Charan.
Reportedly, Pritam has created a pacy track that is said to be one of the high points of the thriller. Considering that Hrithik's song, âJai Jai Shivshankar', with Tiger Shroff in âWar' (2019) was a chartbuster, the makers are leaving no stone unturned in upping the ante in all aspects, from scale and action to emotions and music.
At this point, it is not known if leading lady Kiara Advani will join Duggu and Taarak in the high-energy dance number.
Aditya and Ayan have announced August 14, 2025, as War 2's date with cinemas.
Besides that Jr NTR also has 'Devara: Part 1' in the pipeline featuring Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. Directed by Koratala Siva, the film promises gripping action sequences and an extraordinary musical score. The first part will hit theatres on October 10, 2024, coinciding with the Dussehra weekend.
