The wait is finally over. The makers of War 2 have officially confirmed its release date, and fans are in for a cinematic treat this August. Featuring Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan and global sensation Jr. NTR, this high-octane action thriller, directed by Ayan Mukerji, promises an electrifying showdown between the two superstars.

When is War 2 Releasing?

Amidst speculations and delays due to Hrithik Roshan’s injury, Yash Raj Films has now set the record straight. In a tweet on X, YRF announced:

“I have to say… you have created an atmosphere even before the marketing of #War2 has started… On 14th August 2025, there will be a stir in cinemas across the world…”

Yes, you read that right. War 2 is hitting the big screen just a day before Independence Day, making it one of the biggest releases of the year. Fans are already marking their calendars for this action-packed spectacle.
