War 2: The High-Stakes Duel That Could Redefine Bollywood Action Cinema
“What happens when India’s greatest hero turns into its most dangerous enemy? In War 2, Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir goes rogue, forcing Jr NTR’s Agent Vikram to confront him in a relentless globe-trotting chase. With a ₹400 crore budget, a massive ensemble cast, and the backing of the YRF Spy Universe, this isn’t just another Bollywood action film—it’s a cinematic event.”
