War 2 Trailer: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR Clash With ‘India First’ Spirit
The War 2 trailer kicks off with intensity as Hrithik Roshan’s character Kabir confesses that he’s destined to operate from the shadows—for the sake of his country. Enter Jr NTR, who vows to do what others can’t, again in the name of India. While one might assume they are on opposite sides, both fiercely declare, “India first,” adding a fresh twist to the expected hero-villain trope.

India First: A Shared Mission, Not a Rivalry
The trailer teases a clash between titans, but it subtly hints that the two aren’t foes in the traditional sense. Instead, they represent different sides of the same coin—fighting for their nation, each in his own way. The line “India first” echoes through the high-octane visuals, setting the tone for a mission larger than individual egos.
Kiara Advani Levels Up
Kiara Advani’s character breaks the stereotype. While early glimpses hinted at a glamorous role, the full trailer reveals her as a combat-ready army officer. The viral bikini moment from the teaser still features, but her role appears much more impactful than Vaani Kapoor’s in the first War film.
Emotional Callback to Tiger Shroff
Tiger Shroff’s Kabir junior gets a visual homage in War 2, as Hrithik’s character reflects on his sacrifice. A poignant photo reminds fans of his character’s death in the original, adding emotional depth and continuity to the narrative.
Gita Shloka Sets the Final Tone
The most goosebump-worthy moment comes at the end, when both Hrithik and Jr NTR recite a verse from the Bhagavad Gita—Lord Krishna’s words to Arjun before the epic battle of Kurukshetra. The shloka adds spiritual weight to the trailer, reinforcing the idea that this isn’t just action—it’s duty.
Part of YRF’s Expanding Spy Universe
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is now an official part of YRF’s Spy Universe, which began with Ek Tha Tiger and expanded with Pathaan and Tiger 3. Hrithik’s Kabir hasn’t yet met SRK’s Pathaan or Salman’s Tiger on-screen—but there’s buzz around surprise cameos.
Ayan Mukerji’s Next Big Bet Post-Brahmastra
Following the ambitious but polarizing Brahmastra, Ayan Mukerji takes the director’s seat for War 2. While Brahmastra earned around Rs.267 crore against a Rs.410 crore budget, its sequels are currently on hold as Ayan shifts focus to this gritty spy drama.
Big Action, Bigger Expectations
Releasing just before Independence Day, War 2 is poised to be Bollywood’s next action juggernaut. However, the film will have to prove itself against a rising wave of action films and recent box-office hits and misses like Pathaan, Jawan, Animal, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
