While talking to Siddharth Kannan, Vaani Kapoor was asked if she ever felt like she should have been a part of the second war. She said, "No, I wish them the best. I feel incredibly grateful that I at least got the opportunity to be a part of a film like War, the OG War. It is looking beautiful. It is cinematic. It is larger than life. Kudos to the team."
She quirkily opened up about the fate of her and Tiger's characters in the action thriller. "Me, Sid (director Sidharth Anand), and Tiger are all not there in the sequel. Tiger and I both passed away in War. So I said, if Tiger comes back, I’m coming back too, my friend," she added.
