The much-anticipated trailer for War 2 was unveiled on Friday, giving fans a thrilling glimpse into the YRF Spy Universe’s next chapter. Starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr, the film’s trailer declares a powerful message, ‘India first’.

Hrithik and NTR Jr Take Oath in Style

The trailer opens with Hrithik Roshan pledging to become a ‘faceless shadow’, while NTR Jr vows to be a ‘weapon’, both characters seemingly locked in a battle driven by patriotic duty.

The two-and-a-half-minute clip delivers intense action, fast-paced chases, and powerful imagery, emphasising the characters’ loyalty to the nation above all else.

Kiara Advani appears to play Hrithik’s romantic interest and also showcases her action skills in several sequences. A nostalgic moment in the trailer reveals Tiger Shroff through a photograph, as Hrithik’s character Kabir reflects on past events from War (2019).
