The excitement surrounding Hrithik Roshan's War 2 within the Hindi film industry is substantial. This film marks Roshan's return to the YRF Spy Universe and is among the most highly anticipated releases nationwide. Fans of the franchise are eagerly awaiting its debut during the Independence Day weekend in 2025. However, recent reports indicate that this same weekend is also slated for the release of Rajinikanth’s upcoming pan-India film, Coolie. While this could potentially split the audience, particularly in the Hindi-speaking regions, it has been reported that the producers of Lokesh Kanagaraj's film are considering rescheduling Coolie’s release to prevent a direct competition with War 2.

Coolie vs. War 2 Clash Avoided

War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is part of Aditya Chopra’s successful YRF Spy Universe, which already features War, the Tiger trilogy, Pathaan, and future projects such as War 2, Pathaan 2, Pathaan vs. Tiger, and Alpha. The film is being produced on a grand scale, generating significant buzz. In contrast, Coolie, which has been in development for some time, stars Rajinikanth and is also highly anticipated as a pan-India release, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

According to AndhraBoxOffice.com, efforts are underway to avoid a clash between War 2 and Coolie. Reports indicate that after several discussions, both production teams have reached an agreement to release their films on different weekends. If the producers of War 2 secure the Independence Day weekend in August 2025, Coolie will adjust its release date accordingly. Ongoing discussions suggest that the Coolie team is actively pursuing distributors to facilitate a successful pan-India launch.

Hrithik Roshan Suffers Leg Injury During War 2 Prep

Recent reports indicated that War 2 would include an energetic dance sequence featuring a showdown between Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan. This announcement generated considerable excitement, as both actors are celebrated for their remarkable dancing abilities, with Jr. NTR notably recognized for his Oscar-winning performance in the song "Naatu Naatu" from RRR. However, the latest information reveals that Hrithik Roshan has sustained a leg injury while practicing for the dance routine, resulting in a postponement of the shoot until May.

As reported by Bollywood Hungama, a source disclosed: "Hrithik really exerted himself during the rehearsals for this dynamic song alongside Jr. NTR in War 2. He experienced a discomfort in his leg, which became increasingly bothersome. Following a medical evaluation, doctors recommended that he refrain from further strain and take time to recuperate before filming this significant dance number."

The source also mentioned: "The grand dance-off in War 2 featuring Hrithik and Jr. NTR is now scheduled to be filmed in May. All main cast members have completed their respective filming, and the movie is currently in post-production. This minor delay will not impact the film’s promotional or marketing strategies. War 2 remains set for its global theatrical release on August 14, 2025!"
