Director Ayan Mukerji has recently shared his thoughts and experiences regarding the highly anticipated film War 2, a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster. In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram on May 23, 2025, Mukerji expressed his excitement and gratitude for the project, offering insights into what inspires him most about the film.

Mukerji acknowledged the high expectations surrounding War 2, especially after the release of the teaser. He emphasized that while the movie promises a grand cinematic experience with high-octane action, its core lies in a powerful and dramatic story. According to Mukerji, the narrative genuinely surprised him when he first heard the script, making the project exciting and challenging. He also hinted that War 2 would offer a deeper exploration into the spy universe genre, building upon the foundation laid by previous YRF Spy Universe hits like Tiger, War, and Pathaan.

Ayan Mukerji also expressed his appreciation for the team behind War 2, including producer Aditya Chopra, whom he credited for his leadership and guidance over the past two years. He thanked Chopra for the incredible opportunity to work with the "once-in-a-lifetime duo" – Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Mukerji praised both actors for bringing drama and depth to their characters and expressed his eagerness for the audience to witness their magical performances. He also lauded Kiara Advani, describing her as a "ray of sunshine" in the film and a dear friend.

The director shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of the film, featuring himself in discussions with Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani on set. Mukerji highlighted Hrithik Roshan's authoritative on-screen presence and Jr NTR's fresh intensity, noting their key roles in evolving the movie's vision.

War 2 is slated for release on August 14, 2025, coinciding with India's Independence Day weekend. According to reports, early estimates suggest a strong opening at the box office, with potential for significant collections in both Hindi and Telugu markets. Much of the film's success, however, will depend on the audience's reception of the full trailer and the film's music.

With Brahmastra 2 facing delays, Ayan Mukerji seems to have fully embraced War 2, pouring his energy and vision into creating a compelling action thriller. He promises surprise twists, emotionally charged action, and a narrative that will redefine expectations for the Indian spy universe. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly anticipate more insights and glimpses into the making of War 2, ready to experience the "magic" Mukerji and his team have crafted.
