The excitement around Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe is off the charts right now. With multiple films already in the franchise and a sixth one on the way, this cinematic universe is expanding quickly. The next big thing is War 2, the much-awaited sequel to Hrithik Roshan’s hit movie War from 2019.

Featuring Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, War 2 has fans buzzing, eagerly following every update about the film. One of the biggest questions was when it would actually hit theaters. While it was earlier announced that the movie would be released during Independence Day Week in 2025, the exact date was still a mystery—until now. YRF has finally revealed the official release date, so here’s what you need to know!

War 2 Release Date Announced

For those who might not know, War 2 is wrapping up its filming, and there's an exciting dance number featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR planned for May 2025.

The buzz hit an all-time high when a fan-made video promoting the film caught the eye of YRF’s official X account (formerly known as Twitter). They responded to the fan's tweet by casually revealing the much-anticipated release date!

"Got to say, you’ve set the stage perfectly even before we kick off our marketing for #War2! Expect chaos in theaters on August 14, 2025, worldwide..." the tweet stated. So there you have it—it's officially confirmed! War 2 is set to release in theaters around the globe on August 14, 2025.

Hrithik Roshan Injures His Leg While Practicing for War 2

A few months back, there were buzzworthy reports about an epic dance-off in War 2 featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. With both stars being incredible dancers—especially since Jr NTR's Naatu Naatu from RRR snagged an Oscar—fans were super pumped.

But recently, it seems Hrithik Roshan faced a setback, injuring his leg while practicing for this high-energy dance number. Because of this, the filming has been pushed back to May 2025.

As per Bollywood Hungama, a source shared: "Hrithik really went all out during rehearsals for this lively song with NTR Jr. While he was practicing, he felt a twinge in his leg that turned pretty uncomfortable. After seeing a doctor, he was advised to take it easy and avoid any more strain before shooting this big scene."

The source also mentioned: "The grand dance-off between Hrithik and NTR Jr. will now take place in May. All the main cast members have finished their parts, and the film is already in post-production. This little hiccup won’t impact the marketing or promotional strategies. War 2 is still set for its theatrical release on August 14, 2025!"
