War 2 is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe series, directed by Ayan Mukerji. Hrithik plays Major Kabir Dhaliwal again, and Jr NTR makes his debut appearance in a Hindi film as Vikram Chelapathi. Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor play supporting parts, while Kiara Advani is seen as the female lead. Background scores by Sanchit and Ankit Balhara complement Pritam's original composition for the film.
War 2 recounts the story of Major Kabir Dhaliwal, a man who worked as an agent for RAW but now works as a mercenary for the international terrorist group KALI. His most recent objective is to eliminate his former mentor, Colonel Luthra (Ashutosh Rana). To counter Kabir, India sends its most lethal agent, Vikram Chelapathi (Jr NTR), on a mission. The film's wide breadth is further enhanced by the fact that it transpires across multiple international settings.
Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, was also released over the Indian Independence Day weekend, so War 2 had some competition. Regardless, the film became the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 2025 and the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, earning ₹302.97-351 crore globally. Though critics had mixed feelings about the plot and special effects, they lauded the performance of Hrithik and the action sequences.
Netflix will premiere War 2 on October 9, 2025, following the OTT giant's acquisition of the streaming rights. Meanwhile, YRF Spy Universe films are available to stream on Prime Video (subscribers of OTTplay Premium will also be able to watch them with a top-up). The film will be available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. This OTT release lets fans who missed the theatre enjoy the actioner at home.
