Hrithik Roshan has officially wrapped shooting for War 2, the much-awaited YRF Spy Universe installment directed by Ayan Mukerji. Taking to X on Tuesday, the actor shared a heartfelt note reflecting on his 149-day journey with the film. Accompanied by a picture from the wrap celebration, featuring director Ayan Mukerji and choreographer Bosco Martis, Hrithik appeared deep in conversation as a celebratory cake sat on the table. Jr NTR and Kiara Advani were notably absent from the frame, but Hrithik didn’t miss the chance to praise both of his co-stars in the emotional message.
Hrithik shares a long emotional post on wrapping War 2
He wrote:
“Feeling a mixed bag of emotions as the cameras stopped rolling for #War2. 149 days of relentless chase, action, dance, blood, sweat, injuries… and it was all WORTH IT!”
Addressing Jr NTR, he added, “@tarak9999 sir it has been an honor to work alongside you and create something so special together.” On Kiara Advani, Hrithik said, “@advani_kiara I’m so excited for the world to witness the lethal side of you, you’ve been spectacular to share screen with.”
He went on to thank the visionaries behind the project and the crew:
“I cannot wait for you all to witness the incredible cinematic vision of Adi & Ayan!! To the entire cast & crew of War 2, thank you for sharing your brilliance and giving it your all every single day.”
Hrithik concluded his message with a bittersweet farewell to his character:
“Lastly, it’s always bitter-sweet to call it a wrap for Kabir, it will take a couple of days to feel like myself again. Now onto the journey of presenting our film to you all on August 14th, 2025.”
Why Hrithik and Jr NTR Won’t Promote War 2 Together
In what appears to be a calculated strategy, Yash Raj Films has reportedly decided that Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR will not share the stage during War 2 promotions. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the makers believe keeping their on-screen rivalry untouched in public spaces will heighten audience anticipation.

A source told the publication, “They would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never be seen with each other.” The approach is in line with the studio’s plan to preserve the intensity of their characters’ dynamic until audiences witness it firsthand on screen.
What to Expect from War 2
Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 continues the spy-action legacy with Hrithik reprising his role as Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR stepping in as the antagonist. Kiara Advani joins the cast in what is expected to be a bold new avatar. The film is part of the larger YRF Spy Universe and is slated to hit theatres on August 14, 2025, just ahead of India’s Independence Day.
