The much-awaited spy thriller, ‘War 2,’ directed by Ayan Mukerji, is all set to hit the digital space soon. Starring a stellar cast including Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the film generated significant buzz upon its theatrical release on August 14. While the movie had high expectations, particularly for Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut, it garnered lukewarm reviews. For those who missed the cinematic experience or wish to rewatch it, here’s the essential information about its OTT release.
War 2 OTT Release: Platform and Date Revealed
Netflix has officially announced that ‘War 2’ will be available for streaming starting October 9. The film will be accessible in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages. The streaming giant made the announcement via its official social media channels, with a caption that read, “Double the rage. Double the rampage. Ready for the War? Watch War 2, out 9 October on Netflix.” This announcement was met with varied reactions from the audience, ranging from amusement to eager anticipation.
Hrithik Roshan’s Thoughts on ‘War 2’
In a recent interview, Hrithik Roshan shared his perspective on ‘War 2’ following its release. He posted a heartfelt note on Instagram, sharing stills of his character, Kabir, from the movie. He reflected on the experience, writing, “Everything seemed so perfect. Like it’s meant to be. A sure shot. No worries, just needed to do my job right. Which of course I did. But something was lurking behind that presumptuous certainty. A voice that I kept shutting out..This is too easy … I know this too well. And another that said, I deserve it, every film doesn’t have to be a torture and trauma and an incessant search for the truth of the moment. Just relax.”
‘War 2’ is the successor to Siddharth Anand’s 2019 blockbuster ‘War,’ which featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Hrithik reprises his role as Kabir, with Jr NTR and Kiara Advani joining the YRF spy universe as Vikram and Kavya, respectively. The film also featured a post-credits scene hinting at the next installment in the spy universe, titled ‘Alpha,’ which will star Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, and Bobby Deol. Despite its box office performance, which grossed ₹364.25 crore worldwide, ‘War 2’ did not surpass the lifetime collection of its predecessor, ‘War,’ which earned ₹471 crore.
